The difference between masterbatch and pigment stability

With the continuous development of technology, the dominant position of pigments in the injection molding industry is gradually threatened, and the biggest threat is the application of color masterbatch. Masterbatch is a new type of polymer material colorant, mainly composed of chemical additives, carrier resin and dispersant. Why can masterbatches replace the use of pigments? Today, we mainly analyze the stability of the two.

The pigment will directly contact the air during storage, so it will cause moisture absorption, oxidation and agglomeration. In this case, the use of the pigment will cause color spots on the surface of the plastic and the color will fade easily. In contrast, the color masterbatch is mechanically processed, and its weather resistance, dispersibility, and tinting strength are excellent, and it can remain stable in any environment.
