Masterbatch SA

Masterbatch and Pigments Manufacturers and Suppliers

Masterbatch SA (Pty) Ltd specialises in the manufacture and supply of masterbatches and pigments to the plastics industry.

Our 18,500 square meter premises in Spartan, Kempton Park, is home to 18 extruders and associated equipment enabling us to uphold our policy of customer service and quality excellence. In line with this, our advanced laboratory equipment and highly skilled personnel allow us to colour match to a sample provided and to custom engineer masterbatches should our standard range not suit your requirements.




Our masterbatch is offered as either polymer specific or universal including the most common thermoplastics, eg. Polyolefins, polypropylene, polyethylene, PET, PVC, ABS and HIPS. We also offer a full range of performance enhancing additives such as slip additives, corrosion inhibitors, anti-static, flame retardant, UV/light stabilizers, processing aid, anti-fog, anti-oxidants and anti-block. In addition to this, we can supply dry blends or pigments should this be what you require.

Products - Full Spectrum of Masterbatches and Pigments:

Masterbatch SA provides the plastics industry with a full spectrum of convenient and effective masterbatches and pigments. We keep a vast electronic library of colours from which our customers can choose or through our use of advanced colour matching software we can carry out a colour match to a sample provided. We also keep a directory of our standard colours to facilitate selections of more commonly used colours.

The manufacture of masterbatch is a two stage process. Firstly, the ingredients are combined in either high or low speed mixers to ensure even distribution of material. Secondly, this pre-mix is compounded on either a single or twin screw extruder and pelletised into the finished product.

Our masterbatch is offered as either polymer specific or universal. Polymer specific masterbatch has the same base polymer as that used by our customer. These include the most common thermoplastics, amongst others:

- Polyolefins
   - Polypropylene
   - Polyethylene
          - HDPE High Density
          - LDPE Low Density
          - LLDPE Linear Low Density

- PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate)

- PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)

- ABS Polymer (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene)

- HIPS (High Impact Polystyrene)

Universal masterbatch consists of a carrier system which contains the high quantities of additives necessary to deliver the end use properties required, as well as being compatible with a broad range of polymers. We advise our customers on the most suitable masterbatch for their intended application.

Masterbatch SA offers convertors an easy, reliable and cost efficient way of adding colour and/or performance enhancers to better market their product. Our laboratory can also custom engineer masterbatches for use in products such as toys and food packaging which have to be produced from “controlled” ingredients.

Plastic Additives

We offer a full range of performance enhancing plastic additives such as:
• Corrosion inhibitors
• Anti-static
• Flame retardant
• UV/Light Stabilisers
• Processing Aid
• Anti-fog
• Anti-oxidants
• Anti-block
• Slip additives

As well as masterbatch, we also supply dry blends or pigments. Pigments, which are in powdered form, go through the same processes of colour matching and mixing but are not put through our extruders. While pigments are preferred by some convertors, masterbatch offers a cleaner and more efficient way to add colour or performance to an end product.
