Black masterbatches
Black masterbatches contain black pigment in a polymer carrier, often carbon black. Alongside colouring, individual formulations are developed for UV protection, electrical properties or NIR-sortability; these are different functions and depend on the specific pigment system used.
Properties and applications
Selecting the right carrier polymer and pigment calls for in-depth technical knowledge and experience. Alongside our available on stock black masterbatches based on polyethylene (LDPE, LLDPE, HDPE), polypropylene (PPH, PPC, PPR) and styrenics (GPPS, HIPS, ABS, SAN), we support the development of formulations tailored to specific applications. These can address requirements for UV stabilisation, electrical or thermal conductivity, specified particle size distributions, improved surface appearance and other functions.
We offer solutions for agricultural and packaging films, high-quality lightweight pipes, oil bottles, caps with specific organoleptic requirements and technical components. Each project is assessed against the requirements of the finished product, whether these concern short-term dynamic behaviour or long-term mechanical performance.
Our team matches your product requirements with the relevant physical and mechanical properties to identify a suitable black masterbatch - helping turn your idea into a practical solution.
