    Do Color Masterbatches Change The Product’s Properties?

    2024-10-22 09:28:32  News

    1. What Are Colored Plastic Masterbatches?

    As mentioned above, colored plastic masterbatches are made up of color compounds and a virgin plastic base. Therefore, they are not original pigments or colorants. This is completely different from color powder. Most of the color of color plastic particles will be produced from carbon black (P or HAF) and TiO2 (rutile/anatas), which penetrate and dissolve into the chemical molecular structure of other types of plastic. Therefore, color plastic particles will not contain impurities or additives that adversely affect product quality. Besides, they also combine easily with many popular plastic substrates such as: PP, PVC, PE, bringing diversity in production for industries.

    2. Function of color masterbatchin the plastic industry

    In the plastic industry, color plastic particles are created with the core and most important purpose of creating bright colors for each type of product, helping them to become diverse in design as well as being applied in many fields. In particular, color is almost one of the first factors that affect customers' thinking when they choose a product.
    Currently, manufacturers have been applying high-quality pigments with plastic bases & some quality additives in the production process of colored plastic pellets to comprehensively upgrade their superior characteristics. Therefore, colored plastic pellets also bring 4 important functions to the product, specifically as follows:

    • Colored plastic pellets can be combined with anti-UV plastic additives. Therefore, the products not only possess bright colors but also withstand sunlight temperatures for a long time. Thereby significantly increasing durability and being widely used in the household goods industry, plastic pallets in events.

    • Currently, colored plastic pellets that meet international standards are produced from 100% virgin plastic and must have a uniform diameter of about 3mm. Therefore, the color dispersion is good and brings stable quality to the final product. Because of their small size and standard raw materials, colored plastic pellets easily penetrate the molecular structure of other types of plastic. This also proves that colored plastic masterbatches have absolutely no impact on the environment and consumer health.

    • Color masterbatches also help manufacturers save costs and processing time because they are mixed directly with other materials easily. Therefore, color masterbatch manufacturers focus most of their investment costs on infrastructure and modern machinery and equipment to optimize work productivity. The mixing ratio of color masterbatches usually ranges from 1 - 10%. This is the standard parameter that EuroPlas recommends to its customers, they help the product have a smooth surface, bright colors, clear decorative motifs and save fuel.

    • On the market, color masterbatches include a variety of colors such as: Fluorescent, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, pink, black, ... This is a material that appears in most key economic industries such as: Textiles, automobiles, electronics, fast-moving consumer goods or furniture. Depending on each color, colored plastic pellets will be divided into separate applications. For example: white plastic pellets will be suitable for bag blowing, injection molding or extrusion coating of PP or PE film.

    3. Will colored plastic pellets change the properties of the final product?

    However, this depends on many different factors. Basically, the pigment in colored plastic pellets at high concentrations (10 - 70%) with excellent dispersion will give the final product the most perfect appearance. In particular, plastic pellets containing high-quality components with 100% virgin plastic will help the finished product achieve a smooth surface with good printability and high durability

    As we know, colored plastic pellets include: plastic base, pigment and additives. Therefore, if the manufacturer does not carefully select the input materials, the colored plastic masterbatch will not only negatively affect the properties of the final product but also the health of consumers. In essence, if all production conditions and raw materials are guaranteed, the colored plastic masterbatch will be an extremely important component throughout the process of processing finished plastic products.
