Why Masterbatch is the Preferred Method for Ultramarine Blue in Plastics
Ultramarine Blue for Masterbatch manufacturing is the most efficient and consistent way to incorporate blue pigment into plastic products at industrial scale. A masterbatch concentrate containing 20–40% Ultramarine Blue for Masterbatch in a carrier polymer eliminates the dust-handling challenges of dry pigment blending, ensures complete dispersion, and allows precise color control at any let-down ratio.
The advantages of using concentrate grades of Ultramarine Blue for Masterbatch over standard dry pigment blending include: elimination of pigment dust exposure in the production environment, improved color consistency from batch to batch, easier color change and cleaning between production runs, and better dispersion quality in the final plastic product.
Carrier Selection and Processing for Ultramarine Blue Masterbatch
Selecting the right carrier polymer for Ultramarine Blue for Masterbatch is critical for compatibility with the end-use application:
- PP Homopolymer carrier: Best for PP injection-molded parts and PP film applications
- LDPE/LLDPE carrier: Best for PE film, PE pipe, and PE injection molding
- Universal EBA carrier: Compatible with most polyolefins and some engineering polymers — the most versatile choice for toll masterbatch producers
- PS carrier: For clear PS applications requiring transparent blue tint
SKU Pigments’ surface-treated grades of Ultramarine Blue for Masterbatch provide improved wetting in polymer melts and require no additional lubricant or wetting agent. Processing temperature during masterbatch extrusion can reach 250°C without any color degradation.
