Filler masterbatch is also known as plastic masterbatch which is widely used in plastic production to save cost of materials for manufacturers as well as optimize the physical features of the product. In recent years, filler masterbatch have become an essential material in the production of plastic packaging such as plastic food box and cosmetics packaging. Many manufacture want to use this ingredient to replace glass or metal materials which its cost are very high. So does this plastic material have enough quality to meet the all the requirements that can compete with other materials? This article will analyze the characteristics of master batches as well as the reveal competitive advantages of this material.
What is filler masterbatch? the definition and characteristic of the materials
Filler masterbatch with the main ingredient is CaCO3 and produced on the primary base resin is used as important materials in plastic packaging. This ingredients contribute to increase the durability, rigidity, or improve the surface of the product as well as reduce material cost for manufacturers. Currently, EuP's plastic masterbatch have a significant improvement due to the strict production process according to European standards, ensuring meet the raising demands of consumers.
Applications of filler masterbatch in the production of plastic packaging
Food containers: in order to making food box that are safety to human’s health, there are lots of requirements relate to plastic materials since the packaging contact directly with food. In order to meet this strict demand, filler masterbatch are chosen as main component that use to increase the heat resistance of the product, limit the appearance of toxic substances as well as reducing the ability of contractility in high temperature, particularly when heating the food packaging in the microwave. This material have many outstanding advantages to protect the quality of perishable foods such as bread or flour-based foods.
Plastic jars used in food packaging have a shelf life of less than 24 months: products with a main component of filler masterbatches are much convenient since it is much light weight for carrying than glass products. Also, the materials maintain quality of food inside the box. Moreover, due to the flexibility and strong endurable, filler master batch make it easier to shape the packaging which help the manufacturer can create many attractive and eye-catching design.
Cosmetics and healthcare packaging: due to the flexibility in making packaging design, plastic products have components from filler masterbatch have diverse and eye-catching appearance, as well as luxurious colors which can engage the consumers. The stable color dispersion bring brightness, smooth in term of color shades, create the competitive advantages in business. In addition, this material also helps to prolong the age of plastic packaging, as well as limit the harmful effects of UV rays.
