Universal Masterbatch - Recommended Addition Rates

Our universal carrier system is suitable for a wide range of polymers including Polystyrene, Polyethylene, Polypropylene, Nylon, Flex PVC, ABS and Acetal to name a few and offer a cost effective solution to control stock levels as one masterbatch can be used to colour several polymers.

Universal masterbatches generally have a viscosity which is lower than the polymer being coloured, thereby melting and dispersing more easily than a polymer specific. Specifying the intended polymers and application at the matching stage also ensures pigment compatibility in your moulding's and final product.

Universal masterbatches are a cost effective solution to control stock levels. One masterbatch can be used to colour several polymers.
