    FAQS

    What is blue masterbatch?

    Blue masterbatch is a highly efficient additive specifically designed for plastic coloring, used in various plastic products to achieve a vibrant and long-lasting blue appearance. It achieves this by uniformly embedding high-concentration blue pigments into a carrier resin, ensuring stable dispersion during the manufacturing process and consistent coloration. Compared to liquid or powder colorants, blue masterbatch offers advantages such as uniform color distribution, high heat resistance, and ease of use, making it widely adopted in industries including packaging, textiles, automotive, construction materials, and consumer goods.

    Composition of blue masterbatch

    Blue masterbatch consists of pigments, carrier resin, and necessary functional additives. Pigments are selected for their vibrancy, lightfastness, and durability to ensure the product maintains stable color under prolonged exposure to light or temperature fluctuations. The carrier resin is typically the same as or compatible with the target polymer, such as polyethylene, polypropylene, or polystyrene, to ensure proper color dispersion and processing compatibility. Depending on specific application requirements, UV absorbers, stabilizers, or processing aids may also be added to further enhance the weather resistance and performance of the finished product.

    Blue Masterbatch Production Process

    The production of blue masterbatch typically involves the following main steps:

    Pigment Processing
    Blue pigments must undergo fine grinding and screening to achieve the desired particle size, with care taken to remove coarse particles that could cause color differences or surface defects.

    Mixing and Dispersion
    The processed pigments are mixed with carrier resin in high-speed mixing equipment or twin-screw extruders. Through vigorous shearing and mixing, the pigments are fully distributed in the resin, ensuring the color stability and durability of the final product.

    Granulation and Molding
    The uniformly mixed material is extruded into long strands, which are then cut into uniformly sized particles, forming the masterbatch. These particles have stable morphology, making them convenient for storage, transportation, and subsequent processing.

    Quality Inspection
    Each batch of blue masterbatch undergoes rigorous testing procedures to comprehensively evaluate color consistency, particle uniformity, and physical properties, ensuring the finished product meets industry standards and customer requirements.

    Common Pigment Types for Blue Masterbatches

    In the production of blue masterbatches, pigment selection depends on the desired color performance, weather resistance, and cost control. Common blue pigments include:

    Phthalocyanine Blue (PB15)
    One of the most widely used blue pigments, it features vibrant, saturated color and excellent lightfastness. It remains stable in high-temperature processing environments and does not fade easily, making it widely used in packaging, fibers, and injection-molded products.

    Ultramarine
    A deep, bright blue, particularly suitable for products requiring intense visual effects. Its color is pure, but it has lower acid resistance compared to phthalocyanine, so it is primarily used in applications with relatively mild environmental conditions.

    Cobalt Blue
    is more expensive but offers exceptional thermal stability and unique color effects, making it ideal for high-end and specialized applications such as automotive components and high-temperature engineering plastics.

    Organic/Inorganic Composite Pigments
    combine the vibrancy of organic pigments with the durability of inorganic pigments, offering both aesthetic appeal and functionality. They are commonly used in applications with high UV resistance requirements, such as outdoor products and building materials.

    The usage ratio of blue color masterbatch

    The addition ratio of blue color masterbatch mainly depends on the color effect and performance requirements of the product. As long as the surface color of the product is uniform, with no obvious streaks or spots, it can be considered qualified. Common reference ratios are as follows:

    Usage RatioApplications
    1：100Suitable for cost-sensitive applications, but may suffer from insufficient pigment dispersion in most equipment, and is generally not recommended.
    1:50Commonly used for ordinary plastic products with low coloring requirements, especially PE and PP substrates, offering a balance between cost and effect.
    1:33 – 1:25Suitable for polyolefin products with high coloring requirements, as well as ABS products with general color requirements, maintaining good color uniformity.
    1:20Commonly used in products with high color and performance requirements, such as high-end PO and ABS products, suitable for various processes including injection molding, blow molding, and spinning.
    ≤ 1:20Often found in high-end cosmetic packaging or precision injection-molded parts, providing more saturated and stable color performance.

    How to use blue color masterbatch?

    Using blue color masterbatch is very simple. Simply mix it with resin particles according to the specified ratio. This can typically be done manually or using automatic mixing equipment. During the processing, please note the following points:

    Temperature control
    The heating zones of an injection molding machine or extruder are generally divided into multiple sections. The temperature in the area near the feed port should be appropriately increased to ensure that the blue color masterbatch melts quickly and fully blends with the resin, resulting in uniform dispersion of the pigment.

    Back Pressure Adjustment
    During injection molding, back pressure can be appropriately increased to enhance the mixing effect of the screw, resulting in more uniform pigment distribution. However, excessive back pressure may reduce injection speed, so adjustments should be made according to process requirements.

    Die Temperature
    During extrusion molding, appropriately increasing the die temperature not only improves melt state but also enhances surface gloss, thereby improving overall product appearance quality.
