Product type
Color masterbatch is a concentrated mixture of pigments and additives encapsulated in a carrier resin, designed to impart color to plastic products during the manufacturing process. It is typically produced through a melt compounding process, where the pigments are thoroughly mixed with the resin to ensure uniform distribution. This product is commonly used in various plastic applications, including packaging, automotive components, and consumer goods, to achieve vibrant colors and consistent quality.
| Carrier resin | Polyethylene, polypropylene, or polystyrene |
| Pigment concentration | 10% to 60% by weight |
| Color range | Custom colors available upon request |
| Processing temperature | 180°C to 250°C |
| Applications | Suitable for injection molding, blow molding, and extrusion |
When selecting color masterbatch, buyers should consider the specific application requirements, such as the type of plastic being used and the desired color. It is important to specify the pigment concentration, carrier resin, and any necessary certifications for food contact or environmental compliance. Additionally, buyers should inquire about minimum order quantities and lead times for customized colors.
