Black masterbatches

Identifying the correct type of black, whether a specific carbon black, graphite, graphene or pigment dye, requires wide-ranging expertise. As well as supplying general-purpose black masterbatches, we have the technical competence to create specific functionality, such as UV protection or enhanced appearance, taking into account your particular requirements in terms of polymer type, and short-term dynamic or long-term mechanical performance, for a wide range of applications. The masterbatches produced by our partners are used with confidence throughout the polymer industry for interior, exterior and high performance engineering product applications; these include consumer and industrial end use plastic products ranging from blown film packaging and outdoor agricultural films to injection moulded under the bonnet automotive components.
UV stability, resistance to high temperatures and friction reduction are just some of the properties specified for customers’ end products. The carbon black type and % content used in the formulation of each grade is expertly adjusted to enhance product performance, provide reliable quality and improve processing to reduce time and production costs.

Per customers request, we can develop new grade of black masterbatch products to meet specified international food contact, toy and waste packaging regulations.
