Antioxidant Masterbatch

Antioxidant masterbatch is a functional masterbatch that uniformly disperses antioxidant additives within a thermoplastic resin carrier. When plastics are exposed to heat, light, or oxygen, oxidative reactions occur, leading to molecular chain breakage, cross-linking, or degradation. This antioxidant masterbatch effectively inhibits oxidative degradation during plastic processing and use, thereby extending the service life of plastic products.

  • Colour: Black antioxidant masterbatch, white antioxidant masterbatch, transparent antioxidant masterbatch, and standard colours are available. Samples may also be provided, or custom colours tailored to your specifications using the Pantone colour chart.
  • Suitable Substrates: PE, PP, ABS, PET, PS, TPU, PA, etc.
  • Dispersants: Polyethylene wax, oxidised polyethylene wax, stearate, EBS lubricant
  • Suitable Plastic Processing Methods: Injection moulding, extrusion, blow moulding, cast film extrusion, fibre spinning and other processes, etc.
  • Package: 25KG/BAG, 26 tons per 20ft container.
  • Leadtime: 7 days after order confirmed.
  • Payment Terms: T/T,, L/C.

“Types of Antioxidant Masterbatch

Three antioxidant masterbatch types to tackle outdoor ageing and fading

Primary Antioxidant Masterbatch

Also known as free radical scavengers, these agents react with free radicals generated during oxidation, thereby terminating the chain reactions responsible for plastic degradation. Common primary antioxidants include hindered phenols such as BHT, 1010, and 1076.

Secondary Antioxidant Masterbatch

Also known as peroxide scavengers, these agents convert peroxides into non-reactive compounds, thereby preventing further degradation. Typical secondary antioxidants include phosphites (such as 168) and DLTP.

Synergistic Antioxidant Masterbatch

This type combines primary and secondary antioxidants in a single masterbatch, leveraging their synergistic effects to provide comprehensive protection against oxidation. It is the most popular choice in the masterbatches antioxidant market due to its convenience and superior performance for long-term outdoor or high-temperature applications.

FAQS

Q1: Can antioxidant masterbatch be used in outdoor plastic products?

A1: Yes. Our antioxidant masterbatch is specifically designed for outdoor applications, extending product lifespan by 3-5 years.

Q3: Does the addition of antioxidant masterbatch affect the colour of the plastic?

A3: No, the antioxidant masterbatch is suitable for both transparent and coloured products and does not affect colour stability.

Q5: How does one select the appropriate antioxidant masterbatch?

A5: The choice depends on the substrate resin type, processing conditions, end-use environment, and performance requirements. Contact us, and our technical team can provide professional advice.

Q2: What is the difference between antioxidant masterbatches and adding antioxidants separately?

A2: Masterbatch dispersion is more uniform and convenient to add, whereas adding antioxidants separately can easily lead to agglomeration and uneven dispersion, resulting in wastage and dust pollution that compromises environmental protection and safety.

Q4: Are antioxidant masterbatches suitable for food-grade applications?

A4: We can custom-produce food-grade masterbatch certified to FDA/ROHS/REACH standards according to your requirements.

Q6: How does one obtain antioxidant masterbatch?

A6: Contact us now to customise your very own antioxidant masterbatch.

  • Paper swatch
  • Paint sample
  • Pantone® color code
  • Film sample
  • Other material references

Once your sample is received, we perform spectrophotometric analysis to establish an initial formulation for the target color.

Pigment selection is guided by the specific application criteria you provide. To ensure optimal formulation, please share the following details about your finished product:

  • Intended application
  • Base resin type
  • FDA compliance requirements, if applicable
  • Expected service life under sunlight exposure
  • Manufacturing process and typical processing temperatures
  • Part thickness
  • Let-down ratio
  • Acceptable color tolerance range
  • Need for spectrophotometric readings and Delta E tolerance specifications

An initial trial batch is produced and evaluated against the reference sample using both visual inspection and spectrophotometric measurements.

Upon finalizing the color match, we supply the following:

  • Color chip samples
  • Safety Data Sheet (SDS)
  • FDA compliance certificate, if applicable
  • 5–10 lb product sample, upon request
