Color masterbatch-or plastic masterbatch-consists of concentrated plastic pellets made from a carrier resin, plastic fillers, colorants, and other additives. The term "masterbatch" refers to a primary mixture.
The use of masterbatch in plastic manufacturing serves three main purposes:
- Reducing the amount of resin required
- Coloring plastic products
- Enhancing the functional properties of plastic products
Based on these functions, masterbatches are categorized into three main types: color masterbatch, additive masterbatch, and filler masterbatch.
