COLOUR MASTERBATCHES
We develop colour masterbatch formulations based on the raw material used by the customer and the properties of the end product. In our own laboratory, we produce a trial batch, carry out tests and provide recommendations. For food packaging and other food-contact products, we offer masterbatches that meet the applicable European Union requirements. We select the product according to its intended application and conditions of use.
The use of ColibriPlast colour masterbatches ensures excellent coating quality and good dispersion, which is essential for achieving maximum product coverage. For products used outdoors, we develop masterbatches with UV protection. Properly selected pigments and UV stabilisers help reduce colour fading, plastic embrittlement and loss of mechanical properties. We adapt the formulation to the polymer, product thickness and expected conditions of use.
We develop and adapt colour masterbatches for all types of plastics. We select the formulation based on the customer’s raw material, desired colour, production process and the properties required for the end product.
COLOURED MASTERBATCHES
We can produce a masterbatch in any colour the customer requires – matched to a supplied sample, RAL or Pantone colour reference. Attention is given to the raw materials used for the customer’s product, the temperature parameters, the requirements for durability, light resistance, and outdoor conditions as well as to the unique needs of the project. Coloured masterbatches can be given special effects, like pearl, metal, or gold.
WHITE MASTERBATCHES
White masterbatches are made using high-quality titanium dioxide (TiO2). The formulation is selected to achieve uniform colouring, good opacity and stable processing. A range of shades is available, from milky white to bluish. Depending on the product requirements, masterbatches can be combined with UV protection, process stabilising or slip additives.
BLACK MASTERBATCHES
Black masterbatches are made according to different formulations and can also be supplied without carbon black on request. Components are selected according to the polymer, production process and desired product properties, aiming for a suitable balance between technical properties and cost.
Combinations with UV protection, process stabilising and slip additives or antioxidants are available. The formulation can be adapted to achieve a glossy or matt surface on the end product.
