Color masterbatch is a new kind of special coloring agent for polymer materials, which is composed of pigment, carrier and additive, and is widely used in the coloring of plastic products. What are its main functions?
The color masterbatch is mixed with a high proportion of pigment and thermoplastic resin, so that the pigment is more evenly dispersed in the plastic products, improving the coloring effect and color stability. The use of color masterbatch can easily and accurately control the amount of pigment added, and avoid the color inconsistency caused by the inaccurate addition amount.
The resin carrier in the masterbatch isolates the pigment from air and water, effectively protecting the chemical stability of the pigment and avoiding quality changes caused by water absorption and oxidation. The use of color masterbatch reduces the flying of pigment dust, keeps the operating environment clean, and protects the health of the operator. In addition to coloring, the masterbatch can also have flame retardant, brightening, antistatic, antioxidant and other functions to improve the comprehensive performance of plastic products.
Master batch coloring and product processing is completed at one time, avoiding the extra heating process of plastic granulation coloring, simplifying the production process and saving energy. In some applications, such as thermal insulation materials, the masterbatch improves the energy saving effect of the product by enhancing the thermal insulation performance of the material.
The masterbatch not only improves the beauty of plastic products, but also brings a lot of convenience and functional advantages, and is an indispensable material in the modern plastic industry.
