The advantages and disadvantages of filling masterbatch selection and basic uses

When using filling masterbatch, we must always understand and know their advantages and disadvantages and uses. These issues are what we must understand clearly before selecting and using, so today we will show you these two issues in detail.

First of all, let's first understand what parts the filling masterbatch is composed of?

The filling masterbatch is composed of three parts: carrier resin, filler and various additives. The standard for measuring the quality of the filling masterbatch depends on the grade of the raw material selection. Next, let's start with the raw materials that make up the filling masterbatch.

First, let's talk about fillers. Fillers here refer to the powders that make up the filler masterbatch, such as calcium carbonate, transparent powder, talcum powder, kaolin, etc. Let's take calcium carbonate as an example. The coarseness of calcium carbonate directly affects the dispersibility of the filler masterbatch. The finer the calcium carbonate, the better the dispersibility. Second, the carrier resin. The carrier is generally divided into PP and PE. Relatively speaking, PE is better than PP, mainly because of the difference between new materials and recycled materials. Third, it depends on the content of the carrier, which is generally between 5% and 10%. Fourth, the choice of additives, generally PE wax or PP wax.

Filler masterbatch has a wide range of uses. When we usually process it, we only use a small amount of masterbatch and uncolored resin to mix, and we can achieve the colored resin or product with the designed pigment concentration. Filler masterbatch and other products produced by Zibo Haoyuan Plastic Co., Ltd. Since most of the colorants (pigments) used in masterbatch are neutral, the pH value of the masterbatch is between 6.8 and 7.3.

Filler masterbatch is a concentrate made by attaching an extraordinary amount of plastic additives to the resin; when manufacturing plastic products, it is not necessary to add this kind of plastic additive, but only the corresponding masterbatch. Therefore, it is the most popular filler masterbatch of plastic additives today.

The most popular filler masterbatch of plastic additives today has played a great role in promoting the rapid development of the plastics industry due to the emergence of masterbatch. Its main features are: it can simplify the production process; the raw materials are easy to mix and the mixing quality is uniform; improve production efficiency and product performance indicators; reduce dust flying and wear on equipment; reduce the amount of materials used to clean the screw when changing the color of the product; extend the shelf life of raw material storage, etc.

The selection and use of filler masterbatch is so simple. As long as you pay attention to it, you will definitely get better use of filler masterbatch.
