Masterbatches are polymer composites used in the plastics industry to provide color and enhance properties. There are two main types of masterbatches: pigment and additive. Pigment masterbatches add color while additive masterbatches provide properties like UV protection and heat resistance. Common pigment masterbatches include white, black, and color batches available in over 200 shades. Major applications include packaging, pipes, fibers, and automotive/engineering plastics. The global masterbatch market is valued at $8.35 billion in 2014 and projected to reach $12.61 billion by 2020.

Pigment master batch is used to add
colour to the plastic. By blending
different colour additives you achieve
the desired colour. By blending the
colours you can create special effects
to help make your product stand out.
Functional Additive master batches is
used to give other properties to the
plastic. These properties include the
texture of the plastic.
