Why are many companies not producing universal color masterbatches?
Most formal color masterbatch companies in the world generally do not produce universal color masterbatches.
There are many disadvantages to the universal color masterbatch. In fact, the general purpose of the universal color masterbatch is very narrow, and the technical indicators and economic benefits are also poor. The specific performance is as follows:
1. Predictability of coloring effect The color masterbatch is used for coloring, and the pigment of the universal color masterbatch will exhibit different colors in different plastics, so the coloring effect is poorly predictable.
2. Affect other properties of plastic products, especially affecting strength, the product is easy to deform and twist, and it is more obvious to engineering plastics.
3. Higher cost The general color masterbatch is often used in a higher heat-resistant grade in order to be 'universal', resulting in waste.
In addition to coloring, can the color masterbatch also have the functions of flame retardant, brightening, antistatic, anti-oxidation and anti-ultraviolet rays?
The color masterbatch can have several of these functions at the same time, if the factory asks for this.
Sometimes, although the customer does not ask for it, the color master company will advise the user to add some additives depending on the needs of the product, such as adding certain additives such as brighteners to the color masterbatch. Of course, this will increase the cost of the product.
