Product Details

Functional Masterbatch: Beyond Color, Embracing Performance

Attributes:

• Pre-dispersed additives in a carrier resin
• Enhances various properties of plastic
• Diverse functionalities beyond aesthetics
• Customisable to specific requirements
• Improves efficiency and product performance

Specifications:

• Additive type and content varies depending on function (e.g., UV stabilizers, flame retardants, antimicrobials)
• Carrier resin matched to the specific plastic type (e.g., PP, PE, ABS)
• Physical form: Granules or pellets
• Performance specifications as per intended function (e.g., UV resistance level, flame retardancy rating)

Description:

Functional masterbatches elevate plastics beyond color, incorporating a variety of performance-enhancing additives into the material itself. Unlike color masterbatches focused on aesthetics, these pre-dispersed blends deliver targeted functionalities within the plastic matrix. This leads to improved product performance, durability, safety, and even sustainability.

Product details:

• Wide range of functionalities: From UV protection and antistatic properties to flame retardancy and antimicrobial benefits, functional masterbatches offer diverse performance enhancements.
• Tailored solutions: Manufacturers can customise formulations to address specific needs, ensuring optimal functionality and compatibility with the chosen plastic type.
• Process efficiency: Similar to color masterbatches, they provide pre-dispersed additives, streamlining production and reducing waste compared to direct additive incorporation.
• Enhanced performance: By integrating functionalities directly into the plastic, functional masterbatches deliver superior and consistent performance throughout the product lifespan.

Applications:

• Packaging: Improved shelf life, UV resistance, antistatic properties for food and pharmaceutical packaging.
• Automotive: Flame retardancy, weather resistance, noise reduction for interior and exterior components.
• Construction: Increased fire safety, insulation properties, anti-microbial additives for pipes, cables, and building materials.
• Textile: Flame retardant fibers, anti-static fabrics, UV resistant outdoor textiles.
• Consumer goods: Improved scratch resistance, antimicrobial surfaces for appliances, furniture, and toys.
• Medical & pharmaceutical: Sterilization compatibility, biocompatible materials, controlled drug release.
