Color Masterbatches

Overview

Color Masterbatches are highly concentrated mixtures of organic and inorganic pigments or dyes dispersed in a polymer carrier resin. They are used to impart vibrant, consistent, and customized colors to plastics, while also enhancing functional properties such as UV stability, heat resistance, and processability. With advanced dispersion technology and shade-matching expertise, color masterbatches deliver precise hues, brightness, and durability across diverse applications.

Physical & Chemical Properties

  • Pigment/Dye Content: Optimum selection of grade depending on shade intensity and application.
  • Carrier Resin: PE, PP, PS, PET, ABS or universal carriers for compatibility with multiple polymers.
  • Appearance: Free-flowing granules in desired shades.
  • Heat Stability: Engineered to withstand processing temperatures up to 300 °C.
  • Lightfastness & Weatherability: High resistance to fading in outdoor applications (UV-stabilized grades available).
  • Color Consistency: Controlled through CIE LAB values for precise reproducibility.

Applications

  • Packaging: Bottles, films, containers, and caps with brand-specific colors.
  • Consumer Goods: Toys, appliances, houseware, and lifestyle products.
  • Automotive & Electronics: Aesthetic parts requiring durable, stable color.
  • Fibers & Textiles: Colored nonwovens, carpets, and technical fabrics.
  • Construction Materials: Pipes, sheets, and profiles with weather-stable shades.

Processing Techniques

  • Injection Molding – multi-colored consumer and industrial products.
  • Blow Molding – bottles, containers, and hollow articles.
  • Film Extrusion – flexible packaging and decorative films.
  • Sheet & Pipe Extrusion – colored construction and industrial profiles.
  • Fiber Spinning – textiles, carpets, and nonwovens.

Sustainability

  • Heavy-metal free pigments for food-contact and eco-safe applications. 
  • Optimized formulations reduce colorant usage while maintaining vibrancy.
  • Recyclable and reprocessable grades ensure compatibility with circular economy systems. 
  • Available in bio-based and recycled polymer carriers, supporting sustainable plastic solutions.
  • Long-lasting color stability reduces need for frequent product replacement, minimizing waste.
