by Tran Hoa Marketing

Master batch are playing an extremely important and indisputable role in the plastic industry today. Currently, to ensure that the quality of the finished product is not damaged, has a certain toughness, hardness and UV-resistance, ... manufacturers will mix some additional master batch into the ingredients. Let us take a look at the features and additive products !

What features of master batch help improve the quality of the finished product?

The advantages manufacturers often pay most attention to when combining master batch with primary plastics are the increased stability of the internal color pigments, which helps to deodorize the recycling process of plastic, potentially electricity, gloss for the product, etc. However, when using master batch, manufacturers need to pay special attention to the properties of the base resin to be able to choose the appropriate master batch. For example, when the product needs to increase transparency, smoothness and gloss for PP or PE plastic.

What are the popular master batch lines on the market?

Here are some popular master batch in the additive market today:

Machining support line: helps the product have the ability to limit the possibility of cracking during the film removal process and reduce surface defects during blow molding, pipe extrusion, etc.
Brightening line: helps create brightness for the finished product after the production process
Increased flow: additives help increase transparency, hardness of the product as well as better plastic product shaping.
Anti-static current: this master batch helps the product reduce its ability to store electrical charges on the surface as well as minimize dust accumulation on the product when it is needed for display or storage.
Non-stick line: this additive minimizes the ability to block as well as adhesion on film surfaces and other plastic products.
UV protection line: the main use of this master batch is to prevent the penetration of ultraviolet rays that cause aging and damage to plastic products.
