Functional Masterbatches in High-temperature environments: Composition and Characteristics!
In August, the interweaving of scorching heat and humid weather brought a series of challenges to the production and use of plastic products. In such an environment, the importance of functional masterbatches becomes increasingly prominent.
Functional Masterbatches is made by modifying ordinary masterbatch and adding special functional components. Its function lies in enhancing the performance of plastic products, expanding their application scope, and meeting complex and demanding usage requirements. During the high-temperature period in August, some functional masterbatches can help plastic products cope with special challenges. For instance, masterbatches with cooling functions can be used to produce summer clothing, cushions and other items. It usually adopts specially made cool-sensing inorganic nanoparticles. These fine particles are evenly distributed in plastic chips and can undergo a low-energy exchange with moisture in the air in a circulating manner, thereby highlighting the coolness and allowing the human body to feel a comfortable coolness, effectively alleviating the discomfort caused by extreme heat.
In terms of composition, Functional Masterbatches are generally composed of functional additives, carrier resins and other additives. Functional additives are the key to endowing products with special properties. For instance, antistatic agents in antistatic functional masterbatches can reduce the surface resistance of products, facilitate the rapid dissipation of charges, prevent the accumulation of static electricity, and minimize problems such as dust accumulation and electric shock caused by static electricity. They are of vital importance in industries sensitive to static electricity, such as electronics and medical care.
The carrier resin serves as a load-bearing functional additive, ensuring its uniform dispersion in plastic products and guaranteeing the consistency of functionality. Other additives can improve the compatibility of masterbatches with plastics and optimize processing performance. For instance, in high-temperature environments, certain additives can prevent plastics from degrading due to heat and maintain the quality of plastic products.
In addition to cooling and anti-static functional masterbatches, there are many other types. Anti-fog masterbatch can effectively prevent the formation of fog on the surface of films. In the humid environment at the end of August, it is used for food packaging, agricultural greenhouse films, etc. It can maintain the transparency of the film, which is conducive to the preservation of items and the photosynthesis of plants. Anti-aging masterbatch, with the addition of light stabilizers and other components, can enhance the aging resistance of plastic products in outdoor high-temperature and light-exposed environments, extending their service life. Outdoor plastic facilities, sunshades, and the like all rely on it.
Under the complex environmental conditions at the end of August, functional masterbatches, with their own characteristics, provided diverse solutions for plastic products, continuously promoting the application and development of the plastic industry in different scenarios.
Jiangsu Pulaike Hongmei Masterbatch Co., Ltd was established in 1990. It is one of the leading enterprises in China that has been engaged in the research and development, production, sales and service of high molecular composite coloring materials for a relatively long time. Currently, it is one of the larger polyolefin masterbatch producers in East China. With its strong technical strength, excellent product quality and good brand image, Hongmei Color Masterbatch will continue to stay close to the market, meet customer needs, maintain its long-term prosperity and lead the development of the industry.
