Additive Masterbatch for PVC

An additive masterbatch for PVC is a concentrated solution that combines additives within a carrier resin. These masterbatches are used in the PVC transformation process, providing the incorporation of specific functionalities to the final material, such as UV resistance, thermal stability, among others. The use of additive masterbatches offers a practical and efficient way to enhance PVC properties without the need for direct incorporation of additives, thus optimizing the manufacturing process and reducing costs.

Technical Advantages

Ease of Dosage: The concentrated formulation allows for precise dosing, reducing the handling of powders or liquid additives.
Better Dispersion: Uniformly dispersed additives ensure better integration into the PVC, preventing clumping.
Increased Efficiency: A smaller quantity of product is required, improving efficiency and reducing waste.
Ease of Storage and Handling: Masterbatches are easier to store and handle, with fewer risks associated with transportation.
Versatility: Adaptable to a variety of applications.
Cost Reduction: Eliminates additional processes, leading to savings in time and costs.
Greater Durability: Specific additives enhance durability and minimize wear in the final product.

Adplast Range

Additives
– We formulate expansion agents according to customer specifications, using both exothermic and endothermic chemicals, which can be combined into any masterbatch format.
– Antimicrobials, Antistatics, and Flame Retardants – These additives can be combined with any masterbatch format to meet customer requirements.

Toner Line
– Primarily used for color control (adjusting existing colors) in recycled virgin applications. – We offer toners in all product formats.
.- Astrobatch and Astromicro toners (pellets) are dosed into virgin and recycled PVC to:
- Maintain color tolerances and adjust in-line color requirements,
- Mask the natural degradation of PVC, enhancing color stability and performance.

Astroblend Masterbatch (Powder)
– Added to the dry PVC mix, either directly to the mixer or through the stabilizer package. Post-production and post-consumer PVC dosed with toners helps producers meet their sustainability commitments.

Recycling
– The Astroblend Masterbatch (Powder) is added to the dry PVC mixture, either directly in the mixer or through the stabilizer package. Post-production and post-consumer PVC dosed with toners helps producers achieve their recycling goals.
