How does masterbatch produce? Masterbatches produced in granule form are mixed with the raw material in powder or granule form and transformed into the desired end product. The polyethylene carrier masterbatches produced by us are used in injection, blow molding, film, cable, corrugated pipe and raffia sectors.

Masterbatches mixed with raw materials in certain proportions and formulas while producing the end product are divided into 3 groups as colour, additive and filling, thereby giving the product some features such as colour, non-flammability, odour, hardness, UV resistance etc. The performance of masterbatches used as plastic additives or plastic fillers depends on the transformation process into the end product.      

Masterbatch are distributed to the carrier by heat treatment and extruders during the production phase. Its completely homogeneous combination with the base polymer is very important. It contains pigment, additives and base polymer.

Production processes are generally based on melting, mixing and cooling. The steps to be followed in the mixing process are very important due to the fact that the products are small-scaled. Selection of good-quality machinery and additives are the decisive factors.

Mixing mechanisms can be examined under two headings: distributive and dispersive mechanisms. It is aimed to mix the additive particles in the distributive process while dispersing them from each other in the dispersive process. In the mixing systems, two factors are taken as a basis: volume or weight.

Extruder systems are used for mixing in the production process. The extruders, which are divided into two as single or twin screw extruders, serve to provide the formulation required for the end product. The dosing required for the formula is provided either by feeding the premix from a single zone with a single dosing or by separate feeding in a twin screw extruder.
