Applications

With a diverse portfolio of materials and market knowledge, MASCOM GLOBAL Masterbatch is compatible with almost all plastic processes, applications and are used as raw materials in variety of markets with many benefits:

Blow Film

  • Cost Benefits: By incorporating filler masterbatch, such as Calcium Carbonate, manufacturers can reduce production costs due to the lower price of fillers compared to resins.
  • Increased Stiffness: Filler masterbatch enhances the stiffness of blow films, which helps in achieving more consistent product quality and reduces the occurrence of off-spec products.
  • Anti-Block: The filler masterbatch functions as an anti-block agent, preventing the films from sticking together during production and handling.
  • Improved Adhesion: Filler masterbatch can improve the adhesion properties of the film, making it more effective for applications that require strong bonding.
  • Printability: The addition of filler masterbatch enhances the printability of the films, ensuring better results for printing applications.
 
 

Raffia & Rope

  • Cost Benefits: Incorporating filler masterbatch in raffia and rope production provides significant cost savings due to the lower price of fillers compared to resins. Fillers can be loaded at levels between 5% and 50%, depending on the specific requirements.
  • Energy Efficiency: The use of fillers such as Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3) results in reduced energy consumption during machine operation due to its higher specific heat. This can lead to lower overall production costs.
  • Printability: Filler masterbatch improves the printability of raffia and rope products, ensuring better quality and durability of printed designs.
  • Reduced Titanium Dioxide: By using fillers, the amount of Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) needed can be reduced, which helps lower costs and maintains the desired opacity and whiteness of the end products.
 
 

Injection Plastic

  • Cost Benefits: Using filler masterbatch in injection molding offers significant cost savings due to the lower price of fillers compared to resins. Fillers can be loaded at levels ranging from 5% to 50%, which helps reduce material costs.
  • Energy Efficiency: Fillers like Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3) have a higher specific heat, which means less energy is required to run the injection molding machine. This results in lower energy consumption and reduced production costs.
  • Printability: Filler masterbatch enhances the printability of injection-molded plastic products, leading to better quality and durability of printed designs.
  • Reduced Titanium Dioxide: By incorporating fillers, the need for Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) can be reduced. This adjustment helps lower costs while maintaining the desired opacity and whiteness of the final product.
 

Pipes & Profile Extrusion

  • Cost Benefits: Using filler masterbatch in pipes and profile extrusion provides significant cost savings due to the lower price of fillers compared to resins. Fillers can be used at levels ranging from 5% to 50%, which helps reduce material costs.
  • Increased Stiffness: The addition of filler masterbatch enhances the stiffness of the extruded pipes and profiles, leading to improved product performance and reduced occurrence of off-spec products.
  • Improved Dimensional Stability: Fillers contribute to better dimensional stability of the extruded products, ensuring that pipes and profiles maintain their shape and size more accurately during and after extrusion.
  • Enhanced Shaping: The use of fillers aids in achieving more consistent and precise shaping of the extruded products, which helps in maintaining the quality and uniformity of the final output.
