Color masterbatch are estimated to continue achieve significant growth with 6% during a period from 2016 to 2021. Specifically, according to a report of Research and Markets recently, the market for color masterbatch is expected to reach 3.4 billion USD 2021. Explain the reason for the rising demand of the plastic industry is that plastic additives is not only are used in important areas such as automotive, construction, consumption and agricultural industries. In addition, nowadays plastics have been expanded in applying into various new areas such as food packaging, medical equipment and especially in the fashion industry.
The outstanding features of color masterbatch for manufacturing of plastic products
The Asia-Pacific market currently is the place where the plastic additives materials has the strongest growth rate due to the high consumption of plastic products in this region compared to other places. Especially mainland China which is known as one of the highest population rate in the world, it is considered to be a potential market for plastics manufacturing due to demand in the automotive and packaging industries. With outstanding features such as high plastic strength, temperature resistance, oxidation resistance and useful in extending the time of fire and explosion started, obviously, color masterbatch has high-value in the production of diverse plastic products.
Practical application of color masterbatch in fashion industry
In a report recently published by the journal Science, scientists have invented a new fabric called nano PE (nanoporous polyethylene) that is often used in batteries to create new fibers. Help the wearer feel more comfortable when operating. This fabric material is made of plastic wrap derived from color masterbatch which is transformed from thick to thin form in order to help infrared radiation pass easily to evaporate sweat on the skin through clothing material. Due to these unique features, consumers feel more comfortable and airy when doing regularly outside activities.
Comparison the advantages between of fabric from color masterbatch and other fabrics
When compared the increase of temperature between clothes made from nano PE with others fabrics or cotton that have similar thickness, clothing made from material which original from color masterbatch only grow 1.4 F degrees when consumer wear the product. Meanwhile, cotton fabrics raise the temperature of the skin surface to six degrees, causing discomfort to the user's body.
In addition, the cost of raw material from master batch is much lower than that of other cotton fibers and it is easily recycled which reduce negative influence to environment. In conclusion, color masterbatch not only have outstanding characteristics such as stable color dispersion, but also minimizing temperature increase in the human body and reducing production costs for businesses.
