A solid additive known as a masterbatch (MB) is used to give plastics colour (colour masterbatch) or other qualities (additive masterbatch).
A masterbatch is a concentrated combination of pigments and/or additives that has been heated and encapsulated in a carrier resin before being cooled and crushed into granules.
The processor can inexpensively colour raw polymer using masterbatch.
The usage of masterbatches eliminates the problems with insufficient dispersion or clumping of the additive or colourant because they are already premixed compositions.
Although the additive has a significantly larger concentration in the masterbatch than in the final polymer, it has already been thoroughly dissolved in the host resin.
Their application is somewhat comparable to the addition of alloying elements to steels using ferroalloys.
Masterbatches’ relative dilution, as compared to raw additives, enables more precise dosing of pricey components in small amounts.
The compact structure of solid masterbatches’ grains reduces dust issues that are often present with fine-grained solid additives.
Also devoid of solvents are solid masterbatches.
The Europe Color Masterbatch market accounted for $XX Billion in 2021 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2022 to 2030.
New Color Masterbatch Production Line by Ampacet Opens in Luxembourg
The launch of a new colour manufacturing line in Dudelange, Luxembourg, is announced by Ampacet, a leading global supplier of specialist polymer materials, services, and solutions.
The new colour manufacturing line from Ampacet was created to improve lead times and provide more delivery options while maximising the entire client experience.
The new line includes a high efficiency de-dusting system, secure elevator for raw materials, semi-automatic bagging machine, and automated labeler.
It was designed with an emphasis on safety, ergonomics, and environmental effect.
Systems for water and energy have been created with the least amount of environmental effect possible.
