The market for black masterbatch has grown significantly in recent years and is expected to continue growing. The material is becoming increasingly popular because of its widespread use in the packaging, automotive, consumer products, electrical and electronics, and construction industries.
1. Overview of black masterbatch
Black masterbatch is a mixture of carbon black, carrier resin, and other additives. It gives final products a sleek and elegant black finish, making it a popular material on the market.
The proportion of these ingredients will be adjusted based on the end product's specific functionality. Carbon black concentrations in black color masterbatches typically range between 10 and 50%, making it suitable for use as a black pigment in plastic items.
2. How is black masterbatch used in the plastic industry?
Modern design trends have defined the increased demand for black masterbatch across a variety of industries. For example, black-colored packaging materials are popular in the packaging industry due to their appealing visuals that can be used for a variety of branding purposes. Furthermore, black plastic details are widely used in the automotive industry, contributing significantly to black masterbatch's growth.
2.1. Black masterbatch in the Automotive industry
It is the largest industry in which masterbatch is used. The material is ideal for reducing the weight and production cost of automotive items.
In general, the black color masterbatch is added to engineering compounds to enhance the appearance of the finished products. The Compound is typically custom-made and used to manufacture exterior auto parts such as car bodies, tires, bumpers, window sealing profiles, body side protection strips, and headlight lenses.
Furthermore, the combination protects the end products from degradation, extending their lifespan.
2.2. Packaging film made from black masterbatch
Packaging films, such as shopping bags and trash bags, are among the most popular applications for black masterbatch. Because it is in granular form, it can be evenly distributed on the surfaces of the finished products. Furthermore, the formula can be adjusted to meet the manufacturer's specifications.
2.3. Black masterbatch in construction
As you can see, the black masterbatch is used in a wide range of extruded applications, including pipes, deck railings, fencing, tubings, cables, wires, profiles, and fittings. It not only gives the finished products a nice appearance, but it also forms a protective layer to keep the surfaces from deteriorating due to the chemicals' impact. Furthermore, it improves the products' impact strength and wear resistance.
2.4. Geomembrane industry uses black masterbatch
Many geomembrane manufacturers now prefer to mix color masterbatches with virgin resin rather than using traditional pre-colored compounds. It enhances the membrane's UV and thermal resistance. Furthermore, because of its unique surface chemistry, carbon black slows the degradation process in the polymer. Most masterbatch types include antioxidant packages that protect against heat aging and ensure processing safety.
2.5. Black masterbatch in electronic applications and household items
Black masterbatch is a popular design trend in smartphones and home appliances, with high-end brands like Apple using it to achieve a sleek, understated aesthetic, and kitchen appliances like KitchenAid offering sophistication and elegance. Electronic applications that require the black masterbatch include mixers, blenders, and washing machines.
