Masterbatches-Add Colours to Plastics with Ease

by John Steffen Consultant
Plastic material has been in use for centuries and has dominated different industries and especially when it comes to products of regular use. Have you ever wondered how plastics have become integral part of our lives? These plastic made up products not only have good utility and durability but colour imbibed plastics add emotions and meaning to our lives. And these attached emotions of colours are possible with masterbatches.

Before we jump to benefits of CaCo3 masterbatches solution, let us take a glimpse to the history of this solution that has added colours to our regular used plastic products.

Masterbatches have steadily infused the traditional color compound market since its launch in the decade of 1960s. If you will take a look around yourself and observe things, you will find 40% of items are made from plastic material. You can start counting from the very basic things like stationery items, furniture, bags, cutlery and more such items. Not only these plastics are pervasive in our daily lives but also they are prominent in industrial uses.

But it is important to understand how this material is present in its natural form and how it absorbs different colours that make it worthy of variety of uses. Have you ever wondered how some plastic products that are common in our everyday life get its color from?

The solution behind this phenomenon is the use of masterbatches, which are used to give colour to plastic products. They have been in use since long parallel to increased use of plastic products and their demand in multiple domains. These masterbatches are available in different variants like black masterbatches, white masterbatches, colour masterbatches and more variety.


Colour Masterbatches-High on Demand


The demand of color masterbatches is sky rocketing as a result of excessive demand for plastics. Now that we know that it is color masterbatches which impart color to plastics, let us find why colour masterbatches are chosen over pigments.

1. Masterbatch are present in the form of granules which is easier over pigments to move and manipulate.
2. They are easy to handle colour concentrates during the manufacturing process of products.
3. Masterbatch does not tent to face problem of getting airborne during manufacturing process.
4. Masterbatches can be used in less quantity whereas pigments are required in huge raw quantity.

These are few reasons of selecting colour masterbatches but there are many more which make it worthy over pigments in the manufacturing of plastic products.
