What are the advantages of masterbatch?
Publish Time: 2024-08-16
As a plastic processing aid, masterbatch has many advantages, which are mainly reflected in the following aspects:
1. Functional characteristics
Reducing production costs:
Masterbatch is made by mixing excess chemical additives, carrier resins and dispersants into granules, so that it can be evenly dispersed during the plastic processing process, thereby reducing the amount of additives required for direct addition and reducing production costs.
Improving product quality:
Different types of masterbatches can give plastic products different functional characteristics. For example, open masterbatches can reduce the adhesion of plastic products, improve scratch resistance and smoothness, and improve the appearance and gloss of products; transparent masterbatches can improve the transparency of products; degradable masterbatches make products degradable and reduce environmental pollution.
Enhancing processing performance:
Masterbatches can play a lubricating role in the plastic processing process, improve the fluidity of plastics, make the processing process smoother, and reduce equipment wear and energy consumption.
Improving product stability:
The ingredients in the masterbatch have been specially processed and have good stability and non-migration, which can ensure that plastic products maintain stable performance during use.
2. Economic Benefit Advantages
Reduce the waste of raw materials:
Since the masterbatch can be evenly dispersed in the plastic, the problem of uneven dispersion that may occur when adding additives directly is avoided, thereby reducing the waste of raw materials.
Improve production efficiency:
The use of masterbatch can simplify the production process, reduce the operating steps and time in the production process, and thus improve production efficiency.
Reduce energy consumption:
The lubricating effect of the masterbatch reduces the energy consumption in the plastic processing process, which helps to achieve the goal of energy conservation and emission reduction.
3. Environmental Advantages
Degradability:
The use of environmentally friendly masterbatches such as degradable masterbatches allows plastic products to degrade themselves after use, reducing pollution to the environment.
Reduce waste:
The precise addition and uniform dispersion of masterbatches help reduce the waste generated during the production and use of plastic products.
4. Wide application
Applicable to a variety of processes:
Masterbatches are widely used in a variety of plastic processing processes such as film blowing, blow molding, and extrusion, which can meet different production needs.
Compatible with multiple materials:
Masterbatch is compatible with a variety of plastic materials, such as PE, PP, PS, ABS, etc., which expands its application range.
Masterbatch has significant advantages in the plastic processing industry. It can not only improve product quality and processing performance, but also bring economic and environmental benefits. It is one of the important development directions in the future plastic processing field.
