Paraffin Wax Masterbatch
Masterbatch Introduction
Masterbatches are widely used in the plastics industry to add color and other desired properties to products. Thanks to constant technological development, more efficient processing plants, new fields of application, cost savings…, there is a daily demand for new solutions and more efficient and sophisticated products. Only the objectives of masterbatches producers remain the same: a higher concentration of pigment at the same time as a higher dispersion quality.
Plastic thin products such as strips, rope and filaments, which require the use of high-concentration masterbatch for to be tinting, are most concerned with the degree of pigments dispersion or additives. Dispersion problems arise when the aggregate particles interact to produce agglomerate.
Usage of paraffin wax in masterbatch
paraffin wax used as a wetting agent in the masterbatch formulation as well as its percentage on the dispersion degree.
