Masterbatch is a new type of special colorant for polymer materials, also known as pigment preparation. Masterbatches are mainly used on plastics. The color masterbatch is composed of three basic elements: pigments or dyes, carriers and additives. It is an aggregate prepared by uniformly loading an extraordinary amount of pigment into the resin. It can be called a pigment concentrate, so its tinting strength is higher than the paint itself. Mixing a small amount of color masterbatch and uncolored resin during processing can achieve a colored resin or product with a designed pigment concentration.
In recent years, with the progress of aluminum paste technology and people's pursuit of color, the application of color masterbatch has made great progress, but the current market is still in a very low-end application, mainly concentrated in very cheap products. , such as in adhesives and tapes, film applications.
In which direction will the color masterbatch application develop in the future? Anyone who wants to do paint knows that the change in national policy will make paint more and more difficult to make, and many applications such as plastic paint will gradually withdraw from the market. However, such as car bumpers, electric vehicle components, mobile phone shells, home appliance shells, etc., all need to be sprayed with metallic paint. How to replace the original spraying is a trend of future research.
Sunflower aluminum paste has developed a high-end masterbatch application that can replace spraying. The basic principle is to directly mix the aluminum paste into the plastic particles, melt and mold at high temperature together, and form it at one time, so that the plastic parts produced can be directly used in processes such as automobile assembly, which reduces the spraying process. Such a process is an application that kills two birds with one stone. It not only reduces the pollution of paint manufacturing and production, but also greatly reduces the manufacturing cost. The overall cost is on a downward trend. This application is not only suitable for silver, other colors are also no problem.
In the future, the market will develop more and more in the direction of environmental protection, high efficiency and protection of the human body. This trend will inevitably cause the use of paint to plummet. In addition to the use of water-based paint, another application is the application of high-end color masterbatch. The mainstream application method of large enterprises directly reduces the production of color masterbatch and direct injection of aluminum paste and plastic particles. This process reduces several procedures and directly reduces pollution.
Such applications produce housings that are stronger, have enhanced corrosion resistance, and do not discolor. It can be replaced directly after damage occurs, saving cost and labor. In the future, there will be more and more applications. Whoever moves faster in the application of high-end color masterbatches of aluminum pastes will be able to occupy a larger market in the future.
