Colored plastic masterbatches are common ingredients in common products of life. In many manufacturing industries, this material is indispensable, helping to make high quality products. In the following article, TAELIM will provide information about this type of color masterbatch and its applications.
What is color plastic?
Color masterbatch, also known as Color MasterBatch, is a kind of concentrated plastic material commonly used in the plastic industry. It is a coloring compound, consisting of high-grade pigments combined with base resin, and sometimes some additives. They not only bring vivid colors to plastic products, but are also environmentally friendly, helping to improve product quality without causing negative impacts.

Ingredients in colored plastic beads
Colored resins have a simple structure and composition, making them a superior choice compared to the direct use of potentially harmful pigments. The main components of colored resins include:
- Base plastic: Mainly virgin plastics such as PE, PP, PC,...
- Pigments: Use primary or mixed pigments to create different colors.
- Additives: Include processing aids, dispersants, and other additives that enhance product performance and durability.
Outstanding features of plastic beads
Colored plastic granules have a small cylindrical shape with a variety of colors such as black, green, blue, purple, white, etc. to meet all different production and application needs. In particular, they also have very good heat resistance and dispersion, ensuring uniform color throughout the production process.
The content of color particles in the product can be flexibly adjusted according to each production technology, usually from 0.5% to 3%. In addition, colorful plastic particles are also highly appreciated for their safety and environmental friendliness, contributing to the production of sustainable products.
Color plastic granules classification
Currently, there are many different types of color masterbatches on the market and they will have their own unique characteristics. Below is detailed information about the popular types and widely used in the production of plastic products for you to understand.
Black plastic beads
Black masterbatch is used to color plastic products black. The main components of black masterbatch include virgin PE resin, additives, and carbon content ranging from 40% to 55%, depending on product requirements. In addition to coloring, they also help products improve heat resistance, UV stability, and increase durability.
White plastic beads
White masterbatch is a concentrated granule used as an additive for plastics, giving the product whiteness, opacity and gloss. This type of granule is produced from base resin combined with Titanium Oxide pigment and other additives, creating a beautiful and high quality color effect.
Other color plastic beads
Other color masterbatches help reduce production costs while maintaining the quality of the finished product. They also act as additives, improving the durability, aesthetics and other properties of plastic products.
Application of plastic beads in production
Colored plastic masterbatches, which do not contain toxic substances, ensure effective coverage and dispersion during processing. They help reduce production costs and provide natural colors without harming users and the environment. Therefore, colored plastics are indispensable colorants in the plastics industry, with many applications such as:
- Production of environmentally friendly PP and PE packaging.
- Raw materials for making household plastic products are safe for consumers' health.
- Production of popular plastic bags in life.
- Ingredient for making plastic films in industry and agriculture.
- Nonwoven fabric production.
- EVC footwear production, helping export to international markets.
- Support many other material manufacturing industries…
