Masterbatch SA
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:
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.
We offer a full range of performance enhancing 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.
