Color masterbatch offers several advantages over color powders, including the following aspects:
Uniform dispersion
• In color masterbatch, pigments are pre-dispersed in a carrier resin. This enables more uniform distribution in the matrix material during processing, resulting in consistent coloration. In contrast, color powders may have uneven dispersion, leading to color differences and streaks.
High color strength
• Color masterbatch has a high pigment concentration, which can achieve strong colors with a small addition amount. Color powders may require a large amount to achieve the same color intensity, which may affect the performance of the matrix material.
Good stability
• Color masterbatch has better light resistance, heat resistance, and chemical resistance than color powders. During storage and processing, color masterbatch is less likely to change color, ensuring product quality stability.
Convenient to use
• Color masterbatch is in pellet form, which is easy to handle and dose accurately. It can be directly added to the processing equipment, improving production efficiency. Color powders are usually in powder form, which is prone to dust flying, polluting the environment and affecting the health of operators.
Wide range of applications
• Color masterbatch can be customized according to different matrix materials and processing requirements, and is suitable for various plastic, rubber and other materials. The application range of color powders is relatively narrow.
