Color masterbatch is an excellent manufacturing process that creates strong and beautiful plastic parts. Most people do not think about how the plastic they use daily is created. So much goes into creating final parts that look and feel good. What is color masterbatch, and how does it work?

First, it is essential to note that color masterbatch production changes depending on the specific job. At times, the process can drastically change to meet the specific application demands of a customer. Regardless of how the process is completed, they start the same way, by picking desired additives and pigments. Once picked, the two are mixed, creating a polymer or resin. The raw materials are heated and placed in an extruder for optimal solutions. Lastly, the plastic is cooled and formed into granules for shipping.

There are many aesthetic and color design options, meaning that all designers and manufacturers should know their options. Branding is crucial for a growing business, and color masterbatch makes this easy and affordable for products and packaging.What color options does color masterbatch provide?

Transparent Colors – creating bottles, tubes, and other similar items, it is often helpful to have a vibrant color that people can easily see through. For instance, a pill or medication bottle needs color to stand out, but people like being able to see into the bottle to know how much medication is left.
Glow in The Dark – plastic can be constructed with glowing additives. During the design process, users choose a color and a type of glow they want.
Material Matching – Plastic, for some, looks cheap. Color masterbatch and specialty compounding make plastic look like wood or stone. There are several options to make plastic look like a different material while retaining the characteristics of specialty compounding plastic.
