Master batch is a good solution to bring the best quality of packaging weight

Master batch is known as an excellent solution for packaging industry thanks to its outstanding features. In addition to being economically valuable to producers, master batch also improves the quality of the product. In the beverage packaging industry in particular, the food packaging industry in general, the tendency to use lightweight packaging is gradually exploding. However, many people still fear the durability of thin packaging is limited. Is taical an effective solution to improve light packaging quality? Overview and definition of color master batch in the production of plastic packaging In the plastic industry, color master batch is used to create a variety of colors for products, a method to replace pigments to save material costs. This material is produced on base resin and some additives, condensed into small plastic pellets. The highlight of color masterbatch is to increase the color fastness of the product, to minimize the color fading during use. Moreover, thanks to the ability to increase the physical properties of products such as surface durability, high temperature resistance in different environments, so masterbatch is often chosen as the main material in the production of PP packaging or PP, PE bags… What advantages does master batch have in reducing packaging weight? Nowadays, when people's lives become increasingly busy, people pay more attention to the usability of specific products such as compact features, easy to carry. So plastic manufacturers are trying to find solutions to reduce packaging weight by changing materials and designs. Taking the typical example of Medical Pharma Packaging, the company recently cut 30% of the weight of a plastic cap compared to other conventional caps, the successful reduction was due to the change of the original material to master batch. The change to the use of color masterbatch as an alternative material also helps to save the amount of energy required to operate the machinery during the production process, in the past it needed three lines to produce plastic caps, now only need an automatic line to move the product. In addition, packaging from plastic pellets such as PP master batch is said to be very light weight and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by nearly 50% in the environment. Common false facts of plastic products are made from master batch Many people know wrongly about the nature of plastic materials, in particularly, embrace misleading features into the material such as plastic box made of master batch has low performance under high temperatures or external effects, cannot prevent oxidation happen with food. In fact, when this material is added to the production process will change the physical features of the product such as increasing the surface hardness of the packaging, having good endurability, balancing moisture level inside the packaging. Moreover, packaging made from master batch acts as a wall that protect the food from UV, limiting the oxidation process, preventing the invasion of microorganisms and dirt. These features that help performance of food throughout the times as well as avoid the possibility of spoiling, as a result, minimizing the amount of food are throw away due to the outside influences. These all advantages need to be recognized and spread out so that it can be used probably. The role of master batch in solving limited raw materials problem Vietnam plastic market is in recent years has the the strongest growth rate with an increase of 6.82% / year in 2017, specifically, in term of plastic consumption, it reached 41kg / person / year and continues to raise in the next few years. With this significant development, entrepreneurs are looking to a better solution to increase product quantity, meet the high demand in plastic products consumption. However, according to plastic report industry, the cost of materials in the total cost of plastic products accounts for 70-80%, which is extremely high compared to the cost of products made from foreign manufacturers, which leads to difficulties in competition of local enterprises with foreign companies. Therefore, master batch has drawn the attention of the plastic industry as a solution for businesses to keep up with the changing market. Specifically, color masterbatch is put into plastic as a final ingredient in the production process to save the cost of finished products, shorten the production time, improve the quality of plastic products as well as create competitive advantages.
