MASTERBATCH

Our Masterbatch Process

Our quick turnaround process for masterbatch starts with providing the customer with a color matched sample for approval. Once we get approval we take our formula to production. Our Color Master team can formulate colors for your specific polymer. We work with every type of polymer from flexible PVC to the newest engineered resins. We can provide liquid color in those same polymers as well as silicone, epoxy and thermoset resins. We work with orders ranging from one pound to truckloads quantities. Our color mixtures are specially crafted for your polymers and applications. We also offer Pre-color, salt and pepper, liquid and dry color. If you are tired of waiting two weeks or more on lead times for your Masterbatch delivery, call Color Master today.

Masterbatch Polymers

Color Master’s masterbatch process is compatible with various polymers. These include:

PLA Masterbatch

Color Masters strive to produce PLA Masterbatch colorants that are comprehensive and exceed our customers’ expectations.

PLA (polylactic acid) resin is a biodegradable thermoplastic polymer composed of natural resources such as sugarcane or corn starch. PLA is the highest consumed bioplastic worldwide due to its bio-degrading properties, low energy consumption during production does not emit toxic fumes, and generates 68% fewer greenhouse gases. The combination of cleanliness, performance, ease of use, storage and shelf life, and cost-efficiency gives PLA Masterbatch colorants a significant advantage over other plastic-colored resin compounds.

Benefits And Advantages For PLA Masterbatch

By combining PLA with color, Color Masters masterbatch colorants enhance the biopolymer’s properties in sustainability, antistatic properties, mold release, impact resistance, and anti-blocking. The chemical components of PLA masterbatch colorants can easily be sanitized, presents stable dimensions, have no shrinkage, and has the highest recognition, especially during the coronavirus pandemic. PLA is compostable and is safe to use in food packaging where food contamination is not a problem.  .

At Color Masters, we focus our attention on developing the highest quality pigments, especially during the dispersion process. The dispersion process is critical to developing the strength, clarity, brilliance, and hues for the PLA colorant pigments. Our PLA masterbatches colorant is a concentrated mixture of pigments, that combined with dispersants, ensure the optimal dispersion of pigments in a carrier resin

Special Colors

In addition to our color matching services we also offer a range of special colors and additives. These special additives can make your product stand out whether you want it to glow in the dark or look like it was made of stone. These include:

• Fluorescent
• Phosphorescent
• Pearlescent
• Granite coloring
• And more

UV and IR Additives

For polymers that are put into tough situations, ultraviolet / infrared resistant additives can help extend the life of your product. Our UV package is designed to protect polymer products under intense sun exposure. Color Master’s UV package combines light stable colorants with UV additives to reduce premature aging due to UV exposure. We can also provide accelerated weather testing using weatherometers. Our IR package combines colorant with IR reflective additives. By reflecting heat rather than absorbing it these additives reduce heat buildup and warping. These IR additives are especially useful for polymer products used on construction sites.

Special Polymers for Regulatory Requirements

Color Master has specially formulated polymers that are able to pass regulatory requirements such as:

• FDA
• Prop 65
• ROHS
• and more
