1. What is color masterbatch
Color masterbatch is a raw material that helps to color plastic products, made up of high-grade pigments, base resins, and additives. So what is plastic color masterbatch used for? Color masterbatch is commonly used in the plastic industry. This material enhances the visual appeal of household goods and various products, from simple and essential products like white masterbatch and black masterbatch to others with complex colors and effects. In addition, this is also highly effective in improving the quality of plastic, environment improvement, and many other outstanding features.
Over two hundred different tones of color masterbatches are currently available in the market. These days, consumers are given the option to choose the color of the finished product based on the color masterbatch that most appeals to them. Blow molding bottles, everyday household items all use color masterbatches.

2. Color masterbatch for housewares products
2.1. Improve visual appeal with color masterbatch
Color masterbatch are plastic beads containing colors that change the color of plastic products. The product's color is chosen by the manufacturer but can be altered to any color desired. When color is added, household plastic products' aesthetic value will increase, attracting users' attention more effectively. The main job of color masterbatch for polymers is to give the finished products the bright colors and eye-catching looks consumers need. There is a wide variety of color masterbatch available on the market, from simple and basic options like white masterbatch and black masterbatch to more advanced options with intricate colors and effects, as nuanced and detailed as glitter, tint, or luminous beads.
When color is added to plastic household items, they look better and are more likely to get people's attention.
2.2. Safe for food contact application
Can color masterbatch make people sick? The safety of the color masterbatch is being debated by the general public. Many buyers will wonder if the manufacturing process of color masterbatch or toner is dangerous to human health. For beginners, we have to make sure the masterbatch is safe. It's a plastic that combines the best features of both plastic and toner. Some of them are formulated with effective pigments certified as safe for humans.
Besides, household plastic products used to store food, such as boxes, bowls, and plates, are often concerned about safety by users. Thanks to the non-toxic ingredients, the color masterbatch does not adversely affect the user and is also friendly to the environment. For that reason, color masterbatch is an effective colorant for plastic houseware products.
Since it is made of non-toxic materials, the color masterbatch doesn't hurt the person who uses it and is also good for the environment.

2.3. Weather stabilization
Colored plastic products using color masterbatch are weather resistant, so they could avoid fading for outdoor household applications such as chairs and plastic tables.
Plastic products, particularly those used as outdoor furniture, require properties that ensure they will not degrade when exposed to sunlight (more specifically, to UV radiation). Light resistance level is an indispensable index that needs to be seriously discussed when examining the color concentrates for outdoor plastic products.
Weather-resistant color masterbatch can be used to make colored plastic products like chairs and plastic housewares that won't fade when used outside.
2.4. Environmental friendliness
It is easy to contaminate processing equipment and facilities with industrial pigments, so using a cleaner and more hygienic color masterbatch is recommended. Color masterbatch is a crucial component in making eco-friendly plastic products. In recent years, as environmental concerns have been raised to a higher level of public awareness, innovative approaches to environmental protection have been developed. Hence, a color masterbatch is a complete solution that is being used in many nations to better this situation.
It is recommended to use a cleaner and more hygienic color masterbatch.
2.5. Easy to process compared to other coloring methods
According to recent studies, color masterbatch is heat resistant, saves cost. It speeds up the processing time (easy to mix directly when processing). CaCO3 makes up the majority of color masterbatch, significantly more cost-effective than primary plastic. Besides, CaCO3 can help plastic processors save money on energy by reducing the load on the extruder, increasing productivity, and shortening the production cycle.
Using color masterbatch as a plastic colorant makes storage near production systems much less hassle than powdered pigments. Workers in such plants can easily regulate the masterbatch they use and adjust other aspects of the production procedure to avoid wasting any raw materials.
Furthermore, the binding agent used within the color masterbatch can be easily matched to the polymer for an improved melting process. This material offers superior color consistency for products compared to raw pigments.
Color masterbatch is much more environmentally friendly than industrial pigment.
