Black plastic pellets are an indispensable ingredient in the production of plastic products. In the following article, TAELIM will introduce the characteristics of this type of pellet and its applications for you to understand.
Overview of black plastic granules
Black plastic masterbatch, also known as black filler, is an important plastic raw material in the plastic manufacturing industry. The composition of black plastic includes additives, virgin PE resin, and carbon, with the carbon ratio ranging from 40% to 55%. This masterbatch plays an important role in creating black color for plastic products.
Black plastic is divided into two main types, depending on its origin, namely:
- Black plastic pellets from recycled plastic: This type of plastic is produced from used plastic materials. After collection, sorting and recycling according to the process, recycled plastic is crushed, cleaned and melted. This mixture is then pressed into black pellets.
- Black masterbatch from virgin plastic: This type is produced from virgin plastic, contains no impurities and no additives. Virgin plastic brings many advantages such as high flexibility, good elasticity, and beautiful color.

Characteristics of black plastic beads
Black plastic will have its own unique characteristics to distinguish it during use as a raw material for production. Below is detailed information about the special features of this type of grain for you to understand.
Even color distribution
When using black masterbatch in the manufacturing process, the pigments are carefully refined to ensure uniformity in the color of the final product. This results in a product with an even and sharp black color.
Note that you should choose the type of black plastic that suits your product requirements. After the melting process, the color particles will be evenly dispersed throughout the finished plastic products, ensuring uniform color and high quality.
Maintains color stability during use
During the use of plastic products, it is inevitable that pigments will come into contact with air, leading to water absorption and oxidation. However, when the product is manufactured from black plastic granules with high-quality base plastic components, the color will be maintained stably even under long-term use. This ensures that the product retains its color fastness and superior aesthetics over time.

Why black plastic beads do not color well
Black masterbatch is often considered the ideal colorant for injection molded plastic products. However, there are some cases where products using black plastic do not achieve the desired color. Let’s explore the following reasons:
Use recycled plastic materials
Recycled plastic is a product that is collected, sorted, cleaned and processed to be regenerated into new materials, contributing to environmental protection. However, recycled plastic often has low compatibility with black additives. This leads to the coloring effect of black plastic pellets when combined with recycled plastic not achieving the desired uniformity.
Incompatible base resin
Black resins are specially designed to be compatible with various resins on the market. However, when the base resin is not compatible with the black resin, the color diffusion will be affected. This results in the color of the final product not achieving the desired perfect blackness.
Applications of black plastic beads
Nowadays, this type of grain is widely used in industries that produce common daily products. Below is detailed information about the application of black plastic for you to understand.
PP packaging production
Black plastic is made from virgin plastic, does not contain additives, is safe, flexible and highly elastic. Therefore, black plastic granules are often used in the PP packaging production process. This PP packaging product can replace PE packaging thanks to its outstanding advantages compared to PE packaging.
Applications in industries
In addition to common applications, black plastic is also widely used in many other industries, especially in additives and coloring of plastic products. Typical products include household items such as buckets, basins, cups, bowls, plastic chairs, and even the casings of electronic devices such as cameras, phones, headphones, etc.
Notes when using black plastic granules in production
To ensure that the desired color of the plastic product is achieved when using black resin as an additive, it is important to pay attention to the compatibility between the base resin and the additive. Before starting the production process, you should carefully consider the type of base resin you are using. It is best to find a reputable supplier to advise you on whether the black masterbatch is suitable for your base resin. Compatibility between the components will help the production and coloring process run smoothly and achieve the best results.
