Black Masterbatch
Masterbatches are solid or liquid additives for plastic used for coloring plastics (color masterbatch) or imparting other properties to plastics (additive masterbatch). As one of the masterbatches, black masterbatch is composed with excessive carbon black, carrier resin and dispersant. It allows the processor to color raw polymer economically during the plastics manufacturing process. Black masterbatches can be tailor made to suit colour, heat or UV requirements.
