Masterbatch is a type of colorant used for polymer materials commonly employed in the plastics industry. It is a pigment preparation consisting of pigments or dyes, a carrier resin, and additives. The purpose of masterbatch is to uniformly disperse a concentrated amount of pigment into a resin, resulting in a pigment concentrate that can be easily mixed with the base polymer during processing. This allows for efficient and consistent coloring of plastic products during manufacturing.
The reason why you choose Masterbatch In Injection Molding
1.Make the pigment have better dispersibility in the product. The pigment must be refined during the production process to improve the dispersibility and coloring power of the pigment. The carrier of the special color masterbatch is the same as the plastic variety of the product, and has good matching, and the pigment particles can be well dispersed in the product plastic after heating and melting.
2.It is beneficial to maintain the chemical stability of the pigment if the pigment is used directly, the pigment will absorb water and oxidization due to the direct contact with the air during storage and use, and after the color is made, the resin carrier will isolate the pigment from the air and water, which can make the quality of the pigment unchanged for a long time.
3.Ensure that the stable color master particles of the product are similar to the resin particles, which is more convenient and accurate in measurement, and will not adhere to the container when mixing, and the mixing of the resin is also more uniform, so that the stability of the added amount can be ensured, so as to ensure the stability of the product color.
4.The healthy pigment to protect the operator is generally powdered, which is easy to fly when added and mixed, and will affect the health of the operator after being inhaled by the human body.
5.Keep the environment clean
6. Easy to use
In conclusion, during the production of the masterbatch, the pigment undergoes refinement processes to enhance its dispersion and coloring power within the final product. The carrier material used in the special masterbatch is selected to be compatible with the plastic species of the target product. This compatibility allows for good matching and effective dispersion of the pigment particles within the molten plastic during heating and melting.
When pigments are used directly, they may come into direct contact with air, leading to issues such as water absorption and oxidation during storage and use. However, when pigments are incorporated into masterbatch, they are protected within the carrier material. This helps maintain the chemical stability of the pigments by minimizing direct exposure to air and moisture, ensuring their quality and performance over time.
Masterbatch particles have similar characteristics to resin particles, facilitating convenient and accurate measurement. Furthermore, the compatibility between the masterbatch and the resin prevents sticking during mixing, promoting uniform dispersion throughout the plastic matrix. This uniform dispersion guarantees the added masterbatch’s stability and enhances the final products'overall stability.
