1. What is a masterbatch?

Color masterbatch is also known as color species. Color master batch (ColorMasterBatch) is a new type of special colorant for polymer materials, also known as pigment preparation (PigmentPreparation). It is composed of three basic elements of pigments or dyes, carriers and additives. It is an aggregate obtained by uniformly loading super-constant pigments or dyes in resin. It can be called pigment concentration (PigmentConcentration), so his The coloring power is higher than the pigment itself. To put it simply, a color masterbatch is an aggregate made by uniformly attaching super-constant pigments or dyes to a resin.

Second, why use masterbatch?

The use of single-color masterbatch has the following advantages:

1. The single color masterbatch makes the pigment have better dispersion in the product:

The masterbatch is an aggregate made by uniformly loading super constant pigments in resin.

In the production process of the color masterbatch, the pigment must be refined to improve the dispersion 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. After heating and melting, the pigment particles can be well dispersed in the plastic of the product.

2. The monochromatic masterbatch helps maintain the chemical stability of the pigment:

When the pigment is used directly, because the pigment directly contacts the air during storage and use, the pigment will absorb water and oxidize. After being made into a masterbatch, the resin carrier isolates the pigment from the air and moisture, which can keep the quality of the pigment for a long time. change.

3. The monochromatic masterbatch ensures the stability of the product color:

The masterbatch particles are similar to the resin particles, which is more convenient and accurate in measurement. They will not stick to the container during mixing, and the mixing with the resin is more uniform, so it can ensure the stability of the added amount, thereby ensuring the stability of the product color.

4. Protect the health of operators:

Pigments are generally in powder form, 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 and do not stain the utensils

6. The process is simple, the color is easy to change, saving time and raw materials:

Because the pigment directly contacts the air during storage and use, moisture absorption, oxidation, and agglomeration will occur. Direct use will cause color spots on the surface of the plastic product. The hue is dark, the color is easy to fade, and it causes Dust is flying, affecting the health of the operator. In the production process, the color masterbatch is mechanically processed, the pigment is refined, the pigment is mixed with the resin carrier and the dispersant, and the pigment is separated from the air and moisture, thereby enhancing the weatherability of the pigment and improving the The dispersibility and coloring power of the pigment are bright. Because the shape of the masterbatch and resin particles are similar, it is more convenient and accurate in measurement, and will not stick to the container during mixing, so it saves the time of cleaning the container and the machine and the raw materials used for the machine.
