Color masterbatches are combinations of pigments and additives that are used in various applications, for instance, roofing, storage containers, cables, electronics, cosmetic objects, toys, belts, silage sheets, pipes etc. They have numerous benefits owing to which several synthetic fiber and plastic producers use color masterbatches – they come in form of pellets which makes it easier to apply, store or move as compared to powdered pigments, it is easier to handle and feed the color concentrates during manufacturing where color masterbatches are used, binding agent used in the masterbatches can be easily matched to the polymer which is used for enhanced melt processing, they offer good control on transparency as well as opacity of colored objects and special effects can be added to enhance color thus distinguishing between different objects. Moreover, for certain applications, polymer material needs special properties like UV balance, surface resistivity, optical brightness, enhanced transparency, avoiding yellowing, flame retardation and scratch resistance, with a view to achieve improved perf color masterbatches market ormance, which is provided by color masterbatches. These factors have favored the expansion of the global color masterbatches market in recent years.
