What is masterbatch?

Masterbatch is a combination of the colourant or additive that is blended with the resin and is made into pellets. This is added to your plastic in small quantities and makes the plastic look like whatever it is meant to look like – white, black, UV-resistant or static-resistant.

It is utilized as a substitute to pigment in powder form because it offers three very simple advantages. First, it is less messy. Second, it is simpler to measure. Third, it mixes better, so the colour is uniform throughout the finished good.

Essentially, it becomes a pre-mixed recipe that comes straight to your machine with all the mixing already done.

What types of masterbatch do we make?

Four primary varieties include the following: white, black, colour and additive masterbatch. Each one addresses a particular challenge at your production facility.

Type What it does Typical use
White Gives a bright white colour and makes plastic opaque Packaging, containers, pipes, household items
Black Gives deep black and helps resist sun damage Pipes, cables, films, outdoor products
Colour Gives any shade, including custom matches Moulded parts, caps, crates, toys, films
Additive Changes how plastic behaves, not its colour UV protection, static control, film handling

White masterbatch

White masterbatch is Titanium dioxide (TiO2) in carrier resin. This makes the plastic white and opaque and prevents any light and print-through from penetrating. A thin film will require more white masterbatch than a thicker injection moulded piece. [Your percentage range is between 30% to 70% TiO2, mention the carriers].

Black masterbatch

Black masterbatch is carbon black in a carrier resin. It provides black colouring and also acts as an anti-UV agent. This is why there is carbon black in pipes, cables and agricultural films. It would be best if you told us if your product will be exposed to the outside environment, because that will determine what we recommend.

Colour masterbatch

Colour masterbatch is a pigment blend in carrier resin. We can manufacture colours for your needs according to your requirements. The pigment blend will be done with your resin not any other as the same pigment can give different results in different resins.

Additives masterbatch

Additive masterbatch does not give colour but rather a property. Many times, it becomes cheaper to solve problems on the production line with additive masterbatch.

Additive Problem it solves
UV Sun makes the product brittle or faded
Anti-static Dust sticks to the product
Anti-block Film layers stick together
Slip Film drags on the machine or does not slide
Anti-fog Water drops mist up food or farm film
Antioxidant Plastic breaks down in heat while processing
Flame retardant Wire and electrical parts need to resist burning
Antibacterial Surface needs to limit germ growth

What is the quantity of masterbatch required for plastic?

For most colour masterbatch, add about 1% to 4% of the total plastic weight. The exact amount depends on the shade, how thick the product is and the resin.

  • Dark shades usually need less than light shades.
  • Thin film needs a stronger dose than a thick moulded part to hide what is behind it.
  • White often needs more than colour, because it has to block light.
  • Additives follow their own ratios. We tell you the number for your job.

Adding too little gives weak or patchy colour. Adding too much wastes money. A short trial run on your machine settles it.

How do we match a colour to your sample?

We match the shade on your own resin, you test and approve a sample and we keep that sample as the standard for every later batch.

  • You give us the reference. A Pantone number, a colour chart or a sample part.
  • We produce a small sample using the same plastic material you use.
  • You test it on your machine and give us the feedback on the changes we need to make.
  • You confirm. We keep the confirmed sample.
  • We do quality control on each production run against that sample.

Which plastics do we make masterbatch for?

We make masterbatch for PP, HDPE, LDPE, LLDPE, PET and PVC.

The carrier must be compatible with the base plastic. Otherwise, we may have streaking, weaknesses or flow problems. The carrier is selected based on your information about the resin and process.

Plastic Common products
PP Packaging, moulded parts, woven sacks
HDPE Pipes, drums, crates, caps
LDPE / LLDPE Films and bags
PET Bottles and sheets
PVC Pipes, profiles, cables

Why buy masterbatch from a Pune manufacturer?

The manufacture of products from Pune will take less time, cost less in shipping and react faster to any problems with a batch.

  • Shorter delivery. Orders do not travel from another state.
  • Lower freight. A short distance costs less on every order.
  • Direct contact. You talk to the people who handle your order.
  • Sensible quantities. Many national brands set high minimums. We work at the size of your unit.

Choosing the right masterbatch supplier: 6 questions you should be asking

  1. Will you test my shade on my resin?
  2. How do you keep batches consistent?
  3. What certificates can you show?
  4. What is the minimum order?
  5. Who do I call if a batch looks wrong?
  6. Can I speak to a current customer?

Which industries and processes do we supply?

We offer film, injection, pipe, sheet and roto moulding plastic components for packaging, pipe, agriculture, cable, automotive and consumer applications.

01

Film extrusion

Agglomeration is most important or else lines and gels will be evident. Slip, anti block and UV are typical additives.

02

Injection moulding

Consistency of colour between shots is vital here. Dosage control is significant.

03

Pipe and sheet

Pipes are subjected to sunlight and heat over years. Black and UV grades are most significant.

04

Roto moulding

Large objects such as tanks need colour pigments that can withstand long heating periods.

Pune is home to a vast plastic and automobile industry in Chakan, Bhosari, Ranjangaon, and Hadapsar. Our delivery zone spans these locations.

How do we check quality?

The raw material is checked before processing; the dosing process is monitored while manufacturing; and each batch is tested against your approved sample prior to shipping.

  • Pigment and Resin will be checked before processing.
  • Dosage will remain constant so as to ensure no fluctuations in colour intensity.
  • Each batch will be checked against your approved sample.
  • Pellets will be checked for dimensions and contamination prior to packing.

Frequently asked questions

Masterbatch is a concentrate of pigment or additive dispersed in a carrier resin and formed into pellets. It is blended into your plastic at a proportionate level to impart colour or properties to it.
For most of the colour masterbatches, the proportion of masterbatch to plastic ranges from 1% to 4%. The amount required may differ in case of whites and other additives depending on the shade, thickness of product and the resin.
Pigment powder is unrefined and dusty whereas masterbatch is pre-blended into pellets to avoid dust and provide uniform coloration.
Yes. Provide the Pantone code, a colour chip or a sample part to match. We provide a trial on your resin and after approval take up the order.
Yes. We will send you a sample which you can test yourself on your machinery. y.
