The use of masterbatches is the reason why plastic products get quality. A growing number of companies now use masterbatch to ensure properties and features to their end products. Since the industry has become competitive in nature, plastic companies don’t want to take chances with their products.  They know customers will always prefer value with their products so keeping processes good becomes the necessity. Plus, plastic items require a lot of properties and features than only masterbatches can alone provide. That’s why their significance is huge for plastic as well as rubber industries.

Here are some of benefits of using masterbatches for plastic industry –

To provide whiteness

Plastic manufacturers can use masterbatches to give whiteness to their products and enhance their visual appeal. They can also use to lend transparency and brightness to final end products. The use of white masterbatch from India is growing in plastic industry due to their richness of titanium dioxide.  

To provide thermal stability and fastness  

Color masterbatches are integral to the industry when it comes to giving the properties of thermal stability and light fastness. They can choose from 200 color shades and lend the products the choice of hues and aesthetics. It’s also common in the industry to use masterbatches for blow molding of bottles, insulation of cables and injection molding of items for household uses.   

To prevent products from UV rays

Ultra violet rays (UV) are always a danger to plastic and rubber products. They can degrade the qualities of end products and may also affect their longevity and performance. However, the use of additive masterbatches can be done to stop plastic products from UV rays. It can also help reduce the weight and resin use of the plastic end products.  

To stop the degradation of products

Plastic products are prone to degradation. To avoid this problem, manufacturers can use products filled with UV stabilizer and ensure safety to products open in sunlight for longer period. Masterbatches can be used to prevent products like pipes, wires etc. from getting degraded. They can also stop discoloration and provide mechanical strength and elongation.

To prevent yellow tinge to products  

There is a variety of masterbatches which can be used to provide brightness to plastic products even without leaving behind any blue tone. The same can also be used to stop the yellow tinge to products and enhance their longevity in the process. These masterbatches are fit for fibers, sheets, films, filaments etc.  

To get conductivity and jetness

The use of high-quality black masterbatch from India is growing in demand as it has half its component in black color. Apart from its UV protection features, it is also used to deliver conductivity and jetness to plastic products. More so, this masterbatch is preferred over others for its high surface areas and that’s why they are used a lot for HDPE pipes, blow molding, mono filaments and injection molding.

Enhance the life of products  

High temperatures are always bad for plastic products. They can cause degradation and which reduces their life. That’s why the use of masterbatches is done to protect polymers from getting degraded. Once that happens, the life of plastic products will go up manifold in the products.
