What are the advantages of masterbatch coloring compared to traditional float dyeing?

The traditional plastic coloring method uses float dyeing or float dyeing re granulation, and plastic processing plants that use this method for coloring must have coloring equipment and necessary specialized technology. Coloring with color masterbatches is superior in all aspects. So what are its advantages? The advantages are as follows:

(1) Uniform dispersion and excellent quality

Due to the pre-treatment of pigments by the coloring masterbatch, the particle size of the pigments can be guaranteed to be between 1-20 µ m. Therefore, the resulting plastic products have bright colors, especially suitable for films, monofilaments, fibers, etc. with high strength and appearance requirements.

(2) Low product cost

Products colored with color masterbatches have lower costs compared to float dyeing methods, especially for products with small batches and frequent color changes. According to reports, the cost of coloring can be reduced by one-third.

(3) Color matching technology and simple operation

By using color masterbatches for coloring, it is only necessary to mix the original color particles and color masterbatches in a simple rotary drum according to the technical requirements of the color masterbatch production factory, and the desired color and various technical requirements of the product can be obtained. This technology is particularly suitable for factories with weak equipment level technical capabilities.

(4) Good operating environment

Due to the granular nature of the coloring masterbatch and the absence of pigment dust, dust can fly during operation, reducing pollution and promoting civilized production.
