We've heard about a number of latest developments by previous speakers all of which might be used to some extent by masterbatch producers. The question that they need to face is how this technology may be best utilised in their products or processes to enhance, improve or make themselves more competitive, to create differentiation, to stand out from the audience, to add value. To best appreciate these points one has to take an overview of the whole issue of plastic coloring in packaging applications. The best place to start is where the color is specified. This is commonly chosen by a marketing specialist who decides on the presentation, packaging and color that makes their product more desirable.

One shouldn't underestimate the power of marketing. Colour sells, it can make a statement, it brands, and it can make a difference. A hundred years ago blue tinted bottles were used to identify their contents were poisonous. Today blue tinted bottles are utilized to promote the sale of a product known for its purity, namely mineral water. All due to the power of marketing! - The primary request on the color masterbatch supplier is to obtain the specified or specialised color, and it should be assumed that most accomplish this. Most CaCO3 color specifiers are searching for something new, a color or effect that will make their product stand out from the competition and doesn't resemble any other brand.

On the other hand, the processor still wants any easy, cost efficient masterbatch solution to meet his clients demands with minimal cost and difficulty. Probably the most typical complaints about a color match from end users relates to the brightness or the intensity of the color. CaCO3 color are frequently chosen from color charts, paint finishes, ink catalogues etc., all of that are samples of extremely pigmented, thin layer, surface coating technology, and it's not always possible to attain the same effect by the typical levels of pigmentation associated with coloring plastics. Care in color masterbatch selection, increasing pigment levels, using brighteners or fluorescent pigment dyes can improve this, but obviously there is a cost consideration.

One of my clients, an injection moulder, was an important supplier of packaging cases for watches and sunglasses to a well known, UK based, high street chain, clothing retailer. A senior marketing executive visiting one day was really impressed with the reception display of moldings containing a well known European color masterbatch suppliers range of extremely expensive, branded fluorescent dyestuff. He enquired further about the edge glow effect and was also shown mouldings in a slightly inferior, significantly cheaper regular fluorescent solvent dyestuff. The moulder was later very surprised to receive inquiry requests for cases colored in both dyes.

The Baltimore science behind Foster match do news the Plastics industry you may understand what reason is you know those plastic pellets that have melted and extruded or mold it into a wide range of products things that you touch everyday from packaging to appliances to personal care so how did these Plastic Products get that color in the red food coloring will turn the entire batch of white icing gingerbread icing the same holds true for how color masterbatch is a highly concentrated pigment or Dye that is compounded in plastic resin so if you took 98 pounds of clear resin and add 2 lb of red Monster Match you can mold a batch of red plastic dressed just like with food coloring a little goes a long way but how is this bread Monsta bats made with red powdery pigment is Blended in high concentration with resin and is then fed into an extruder which melts the resin and disposes the red CaCO3 color within the mount the combined mixture is that extrude in two long strands which are cool and cut into small pallets and there's a lot more to it than simply tell it is also used to improve the performance of plastics it can be formulated with functional additives such as UV stabilizes antistax as a counterfeit races flame retardant and more color and functionality attitudes can be combined in a single pellet for example pigment can be combined with UV stabilizers for outdoor items but not old, masterbatch just created equally holy dispersed boss to match during the Extrusion process will result in poor quality molded or extruded plastic parts it happens that we work with quality pigments use cutting-edge Extrusion technology and have the process experience to produce High Performance, Mazda matched consistently and we continue to help the scientist most about you evolve as sustainability and intelligent additive technology is Drive plastic performance into the future Ampersand ideate create and elevate.
