How to choose suitable functional masterbatch?

Choosing the appropriate functional masterbatch requires consideration of multiple aspects, and the following are some key factors:

1、 Clear requirements

Determine product performance requirements

Firstly, it is necessary to clarify the specific functions required for plastic products. For example, if the product needs to have flame retardant properties, flame retardant masterbatch should be selected; If you want to improve your anti-static ability, choose anti-static masterbatch.

Considering the usage environment of the product, such as plastic products used in special environments such as high temperature, humidity, and chemical corrosion, it is necessary to choose corresponding masterbatch with functions such as high temperature resistance, moisture resistance, and corrosion resistance.

Consider cost factors

The price of functional masterbatch varies depending on the type, performance, and brand. When making a choice, it is important to consider both the performance requirements of the product and the cost budget, and find a balance point. We cannot simply choose poorly performing masterbatch to reduce costs, nor can we blindly pursue high performance that leads to high costs.

2、 Inspect the quality of the mother material

Check the composition of the mother material

Understand the main components of functional masterbatch to ensure compliance with relevant safety standards and environmental requirements. For example, for plastic products used in food packaging, non-toxic, odorless, and food contact material standard masterbatch should be selected.

Check the content and stability of functional additives in the masterbatch. Low content may not achieve the expected functional effect, while poor stability may lead to gradual weakening of functionality during use.

Evaluate the performance indicators of masterbatch

Flame retardant masterbatch: Pay attention to flame retardant grade, oxygen index, combustion time and other indicators. The higher the flame retardant level, the better the flame retardant effect; The higher the oxygen index, the more difficult the material is to burn.

Antistatic masterbatch: Investigate parameters such as surface resistance and volume resistance. The lower the resistance value, the better the anti-static effect.

Antibacterial masterbatch: Understand indicators such as antibacterial rate and antibacterial persistence. The higher the antibacterial rate, the better the antibacterial effect; Long lasting antibacterial masterbatch can maintain antibacterial performance for a longer period of time.

Toughening masterbatch: Pay attention to indicators such as impact strength and elongation at break. The higher these indicators, the better the toughening effect.

Filling masterbatch: Check the filling amount, whiteness, dispersibility, etc. A high filling amount can reduce costs, but it may affect the performance of the plastic; High whiteness filling masterbatch can make the appearance of plastic products more beautiful; A well dispersed masterbatch can be evenly distributed in plastics, improving product quality.
