In today’s modern industries, the use of plastic materials to produce a variety of products, including packaging, home appliances, and automotive parts, is very common and necessary. However, to achieve the desired properties and characteristics in plastic products, there is a need for additives and special compounds such as masterbatches . Among the common masterbatches in these industries are white and black masterbatches, which are used to color and enhance the properties of polymers. White and black masterbatches are composed of special compounds that give polymers their desired color and properties. The use of white and black masterbatches is widespread in various industries, including packaging, automotive, electronics, and plastic industries. These masterbatches not only add color and beauty to plastic products, but also add desired properties such as resistance to light, UV rays, and mechanical properties to the products. Therefore, a complete familiarity with white and black masterbatches is essential and vital for manufacturers and various industries.

What is black masterbatch?
Applications of black masterbatch
Black masterbatch is one of the most widely used additives and reinforcers, because polymer series alone cannot meet all the needs of industries. Therefore, in order to meet the needs of industries, reinforcers are usually added to polymers and are called masterbatches. Black masterbatch is one of the most widely used reinforcers and additives that currently has very wide applications. The distinctive feature of this additive is its proper distribution, which is easily dispersed in the desired polymer and is therefore known as a color additive. Applications of black masterbatch include: Production of food containers Production of pipes and fittings according to various standards and sizes Production of packaging film Production of plastic bags, especially garbage bags Parts produced from plastic injection Production of strong plastic cartons and their use in various applications Production of various automotive parts Production of various polymer films Production of injection and blow molded parts
Industries that use black masterbatch
What is white masterbatch?
White masterbatch is a type of color masterbatch that is composed of titanium dioxide (TiO2) grades, polymer base and other additives. This masterbatch is used as a high-quality pigment for coloring plastics.
The use of white masterbatch is to improve the whiteness of plastic products, which is particularly suitable for polymer films, injection molding and other products. The percentage of TiO2 in this masterbatch may vary from 10% to 75%, so that it can be adjusted depending on the needs of the final products.
White masterbatches contain special additives that make the polymer compatible with the titanium pigment and give the final product the ideal color. There are different types of white masterbatch, which are defined depending on the percentage of titanium dioxide in them.
Benefits of white masterbatch
By using titanium dioxide (TiO2) in the masterbatch, the final products are produced in a transparent and brilliant white color. White masterbatches have many advantages, some of which are listed below:
White masterbatches have the ability to maintain the chemical stability of the pigments, which ensures color stability in the final products.
This masterbatch is known for its ease of use and integration into production processes.
White masterbatches do not harm the environment and are environmentally safe.
These masterbatches are easily dispersed in products and have good dispersion.
Due to their characteristics, white masterbatches are suitable for food.
To produce high-quality parts, these masterbatches can be used in blow and injection molding processes.
The final products produced using these masterbatches perform very well and are very effective in terms of efficiency.
The white masterbatches have excellent color fastness, which results in the production of products with a clear and attractive white color.
These masterbatches are of high quality and long-term durability with excellent whiteness levels.
Application of white masterbatch
Due to the many advantages of white masterbatches, they are used for various purposes. Some of the applications of this masterbatche are:
Production of high-quality films.
Manufacture of thin and extruded films.
Glossy white films with excellent surfaces for printing.
Extrusion profiles and sheets.
Thermoforming.
Woven sacks.
BOPP and BOPET films.
White masterbatches are used as an important material for packaging items because they prevent food spoilage by light. The presence of a protective layer can protect the product in harsh weather conditions.
Products made from white masterbatches have excellent physical properties and help improve heat resistance and increase product whiteness. These masterbatches act as a protective shield against ultraviolet radiation and are suitable for the production of thin films and woven sacks.
Due to the presence of titanium dioxide, white masterbatches have high light reflection properties and a specific background color and are suitable for use in the packaging and surface coating industries. The high concentration of titanium dioxide in white masterbatches provides high resistance in harsh conditions and, in addition to changing color and transparency, also affects the properties of polymer materials.
