Masterbatch allows plastic manufacturers to create coloured plastics and impart additional properties, such as anti-static and flame-retardant polymers, to plastic, which would otherwise be impossible. Every day we interact with plastics enhanced by coloured and additive masterbatch, but the production of these products is much more advanced than most imagine. Here are the most common […]
Calcium Carbonate filler (CaCO3 Masterbatch) has been one of the most widely used fillers in the plastic industry for years, even despite development in the industry and the introduction of new alternatives. This masterbatch has a multitude of applications, used by ourselves regularly, and provides great benefits to its usage – keep reading to find […]
White Masterbatch certainly isn’t a new concept, or Masterbatch as a whole for that matter. When the plastics industry really took off back in the 60s, colours were relatively limited to blacks, whites, greys etc. This actually didn’t change much until the 70s when the masterbatch industry introduced a whole cocktail of available colours, changing […]
What is Masterbatch? Raw plastic and polymer isn’t produced with colour, the colouring process requires additives and/or pigments. This is where Masterbatch comes in. Masterbatch is a highly concentrated polymer-based mixture of colours and additives that is cooled, cut and made into small pellets by a pelletiser. At Abbey Masterbatch, we supply mainly Black, White, […]
Pigments are important elements within paints, coatings and inks, and are added to impart colour, bulk or a desired physical/chemical property for wet or dry film. Quality pigment is not just seen as an ‘ideal’, but a necessity. Paints, coatings and inks contribute to consumers all over the world to personalise their business, homes and […]
