Injection Masterbatch

Description

Injection masterbatches are concentrated mixtures of pigments, additives, or both, encapsulated within a carrier resin. They are specifically designed to be incorporated into the base polymer during the injection molding process to impart desired properties.

• Color Masterbatches
  • Pigment Masterbatches
    Contain concentrated pigments (organic or inorganic) to achieve specific colors.
  • Solid Pigment Masterbatches
    Pigments are dispersed in a solid carrier resin.
  • Liquid Pigment Masterbatches
    Pigments are dispersed in a liquid carrier (often oil-based) and then encapsulated. These can offer better dispersion in some cases but require specialized dosing equipment.
  • Special Effect Masterbatches
    • Metallic Masterbatches
      Contain metallic pigments (e.g., aluminum, bronze) to create a metallic sheen.
    • Pearlescent Masterbatches
      Contain mica flakes coated with metal oxides to produce a pearly or iridescent effect.
    • Fluorescent Masterbatches
      Contain fluorescent pigments that absorb UV light and re-emit it as visible light, making them appear bright and luminous.
