ABS Masterbatch

ABS masterbatch is a specialized color masterbatch formulated with high-purity pigments combined with dispersants and additives, using ABS resin as the carrier. It is produced through high-temperature melting, pelletization, and cooling. Its primary functions include ensuring uniform color distribution in ABS plastic products, eliminating color streaks or bands, stabilizing product performance, and streamlining the production process.

  • Colors: ABS black masterbatch, white, red, blue, yellow, and other standard colors, as well as special colors such as metallic, fluorescent, and matte finishes. Custom colors can also be developed based on customer samples or Pantone color numbers.
  • Dispersants: Polyolefin waxes, EBS, specialty dispersants, etc.
  • Additives: Antioxidants, light stabilizers, flame retardants, antistatic agents, impact modifiers, etc.
  • Suitable production processes: Injection molding, extrusion, blow molding, calendering, etc.
  • Package: 25KG/BAG, 26 tons per 20ft container
  • Leadtime: 7 days after order confirmed
  • Payment Terms: T/T,, L/C

FAQS

Q: what is ABS?

ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) is composed of three monomers: acrylonitrile, butadiene, and styrene.

  • Acrylonitrile: offers chemical resistance and rigidity.
  • Butadiene: provides toughness and impact strength.
  • Styrene: contributes gloss and processability.

Characteristics

ABS plastic is a commonly used thermoplastic engineering plastic with the following characteristics:

  • Impact Resistance: The butadiene component in ABS provides strong toughness and impact resistance, making ABS products less prone to breakage.
  • Rigidity and Hardness: Styrene and acrylonitrile components give ABS high rigidity and surface hardness, along with strong dimensional stability and wear resistance.
  • Processability: ABS has a wide melting range and excellent flow properties, making it suitable for injection molding, extrusion, blow molding, thermoforming, and calendering.
  • Surface Finish: ABS products feature a smooth, glossy surface that is easily dyed and plated.
  • Chemical Resistance: It exhibits moderate resistance to oils, acids, alkalis, and other chemicals.

Q3: How is ABS color masterbatch manufactured?

A: The process primarily involves batching, high-speed mixing, twin-screw melt extrusion, cooling, pelletizing, screening, and packaging.

Q5: What plastic production processes can ABS color masterbatch be used in?

A: It’s suitable for nearly all common ABS processing methods, primarily including injection molding, extrusion molding, and blow molding.

Q2: Why choose ABS color masterbatch instead of using pigments directly?

A: ABS color masterbatch addresses issues such as powder pigment dust dispersion, environmental contamination, uneven dispersion, and difficult metering. It delivers superior coloring effects, higher production efficiency, and more stable product quality.

Q4: How do you use ABS color masterbatch?

A: It’s very simple. Just blend ABS color masterbatch with raw ABS resin at a specific ratio (typically 1%–4%) until uniform, then use directly for injection molding or extrusion molding.

Q6: In which industries can ABS color masterbatch be used?

A: It serves numerous plastic manufacturing sectors including automotive, home appliances, electronics, toys, stationery, building materials, and packaging.
Q6: How can I obtain ABS color masterbatch samples?
