Why is masterbatch better than pigment?

Description of masterbatch
A
high proportion of pigments or additives and thermoplastic resins,
well-dispersed plastic colorants, have a good wetting and dispersing
effect on the colorant and a good compatibility with the coloring
material. That is: pigment + carrier + additive = masterbatch.
The
advantages of masterbatch: Environmental protection, non-toxic,
tasteless, smoke-free products produce a smooth and glossy surface. The
solid color is stable and does not appear as discoloration, color spots,
color lines, etc. as other pigments. Reduce the cost, but also reduce plastic degradation caused by
repeated heating, reduce the essential properties of plastic, save the
addition of other additives, reduce the environmental pollution of the
plant and effectively achieve the national environmental protection
effect.
The advantage of using masterbatch coloring
Commonly used coloring methods for thermoplastics include: coloring
material mixing of natural resin and coloring agent, mixing and
granulation into colored plastics, and then used in the forming process.
Dry powder coloring colorant is mixed with the natural resin and used directly to make plastic products.
Masterbatch coloring is the most commonly used plastic coloring method. The colorant dispersed in the carrier is simply mixed with the natural
masterbatch color resin and used for manufacturing plastic products.
Color masterbatch coloring significant advantages
Easy to use, no pollution to the molding environment.
Uniform coloring, stability, improve the quality of plastic parts.
It is easy to measure and can use a highly automated molding production system.
Coloring,
anti-aging agents, anti-static agents, etc. can be gathered on one side
to make a multi-functional masterbatch, which is convenient to use.
