Global Additive Masterbatch Market: Overview
In order to color plastics or impart other properties to the plastic, the masterbatch is used which is a solid or liquid additive. The additive masterbatch is a concentrated mixture of additives or dyes that are condensed into a carrier resin during the heating process, which is cooled and is given respective shape. During the plastic manufacturing process, masterbatch allows to color the raw polymer economically. The additive masterbatch is a new advanced and durable innovation in the market. The additive masterbatch enhances the properties of plastic such as water resistance, chemical resistance, and scratch resistance. The plastic industry is growing and is in huge demand hence the demand for additive masterbatch is also growing.
