How to Produce Color Masterbatch Using a Twin Screw Extruder

What is Masterbatch?

Masterbatch stands out as a vital additive within the plastic industry. It comprises granular material, created by blending high concentrations of color pigments or additives with a suitable polymer carrier. Liquid masterbatches are also available, catering to specific needs in select plastic sectors. Plastic companies opt for masterbatches tailored to standard or custom formulas, encompassing color, pigment concentration, and more. During production, manufacturers introduce masterbatch into their polymer at precise ratios, ensuring the desired color or enhanced functionalities for the final product.

The adoption of masterbatch in production lines, as opposed to powder pigments or additives, offers several advantages:

• Elimination of the need to formulate colors, as masterbatch producers handle this aspect.
• Attainment and stability of color formulations within masterbatches.
• Reduction of operating costs facilitated by the use of masterbatch.
• Time-saving convenience associated with the application of masterbatches.
• Solid granular form of masterbatch promotes cleaner line production compared to powder pigments.
• Incorporating masterbatch into the production process proves to be a strategic choice, streamlining operations and ensuring consistent quality in the final plastic products.
