Violet masterbatch is considered one of the important raw materials that contribute to creating the characteristic purple color for plastic products. Almost all products that want to possess a characteristic & concentrated purple color are combined with this additive. In addition, violet masterbatch is also thoroughly applied in industries such as extrusion, blown film or molding. Therefore, the core purpose of the article below is to provide a definition as well as a detailed analysis of the practical application and advantages of violet masterbatch. In particular, customers can also refer to this raw material line at Green Chemicals. Don’t miss it!
1. Definition of violet masterbatch and basic properties.
Violet masterbatch is a purple colorant produced from a combination of high-grade purple pigment with virgin plastic and other raw materials. Therefore, this is the target material for purple product lines. Moreover, violet masterbatch not only creates color but also contributes to improving the basic properties of the product. They help the product enhance the aesthetic factor, increase heat resistance, surface hardness and durable molecular structure.
As for violet masterbatch, this additive possesses outstanding properties, specifically as follows:
- The dispersion and mixing with the resin mixture are rated at a good level. This means that the raw material will not appear lumpy, structural conflicts with plastic product molecules/
- The violet masterbatch colorant has stable heat resistance as well as stable surface color fastness after a long time of use.
- In particular, the raw material is also optimized according to market trends because its ingredients are environmentally friendly and easy to recycle after the expiration date.
- Next, the flexibility in production & processing of violet masterbatch is also highly appreciated. The material can change the color parameters and basic properties to best suit the customer’s requirements for the final product.
- The practical application of violet masterbatch makes it easy to popularize in a variety of key fields.
The 5 basic properties above have proven to customers why manufacturers highly appreciate the application of violet masterbatch. Refer to the details in the next section!
2. Applications of violet masterbatch
As Green Chemicals has analyzed above, violet masterbatch shows practical properties in a variety of fields, specifically as follows:
- Toys: Children’s toys require a variety of colors and purple is definitely indispensable. Therefore, violet masterbatch is not only used as a colorant but also increases the shelf life and ensures safety for consumers’ health.
- Household products: Household products always receive strict requirements from the market in terms of performance, durability and aesthetics. Therefore, violet masterbatch is also combined with other ingredients such as deodorizing additives, moisture-absorbing additives and anti-aging additives to optimize the properties of the final product.
- Common everyday products such as: raincoats, helmets, decal stickers, umbrellas, … are also combined with violet masterbatch to create a unique purple color. In addition, these are also products that require low prices and not too high production costs. Violet masterbatch fully meets that factor.
- 3D printing field: 3D printing products have very high requirements for color accuracy as well as plastic quality during the printing process. Moreover, detailed products are a combination of many types of plastic with complex colors. Therefore, violet masterbatch is also one of the color additives used to improve the quality of input plastic as well as the color of the finished product. Manufacturers take advantage of this type of color additive partly because they are recyclable, ensuring safety for consumers’ health.
- Cable sheath: Sheath products require heat resistance, insulation, waterproofing and surface durability. Popular colors on the market today such as: yellow, red, purple and green are used in large cable and wire systems. Colors help distinguish the exact function and meaning of each type of wire. In addition, color additives such as violet masterbatch also increase the basic properties of the plastic mixture to meet the specific requirements of the field and the manufacturer.
- Packaging: colorants in general and violet masterbatch in particular are often used in the film blowing method to create packaging products. The raw materials not only have reasonable prices and production costs, but also ensure environmental friendliness, recyclability and UV resistance. This helps to preserve the product longer without affecting the to the health of consumers.
- Fashion industry: This is also a field that emphasizes aesthetics, product quality, level of detail and safety for consumers. Purple fabric fibers will be combined from POM plastic base with violet masterbatch to produce the most accurate color. In addition, the basic characteristic of this mixture is that it is safe for consumers’ health, so the fabric fibers will not cause skin irritation. Next, they will be combined with anti-UV, anti-aging materials to help clothes last longer.
Violet masterbatch is applied in many key fields. Currently, this material also has certain advantages in the market to become the first choice in other colorant product lines.
3. Advantages of violet masterbatch
Violet masterbatch has 4 main advantages, specifically as follows:
- First, under the processing temperature of 140 – 200 degrees Celsius, violet masterbatch has excellent color dispersion and molecular structure, making it more stable and heat-resistant.
- Second, the size of each violet masterbatch particle is about 3 (± 0.3) mm, so it is not too difficult to dissolve with the plastic mixture during the melting process. Therefore, the products will minimize the problems of fish skin, lumps, rough surface or color deviation.
- Third, violet masterbatch is made from virgin base resin, purple pigment, and raw materials that help create purple color for the finished plastic product. That is why the material is recyclable and ensures environmental friendliness as well as safety for consumers’ health.
- Fourthly, the recommended ratio of violet masterbatch raw material is 2 – 3%. In addition, the material also undergoes a modern production process and is strictly tested to ensure all technical factors when combined with other plastic mixtures. In addition, modern production techniques help violet masterbatch additives to easily meet the diverse requirements of customers without affecting the basic properties of the material.
