Silicone masterbatch dispersions use a silicone elastomer gum binder to create masterbatches. These products are available in cuttable masterbatches or slabs for certain thermoset applications.

Sourcing the additive as a masterbatch, often bundled with colorant, makes it easier to add to your production process. With that in mind, here are a few caveats to remember during your search for laser marking masterbatches: When possible, select an additive or masterbatch that’s been developed for your specific industry – this can help you save time and improve quality

The masterbatches contain “low concern” substances which are effective against rats and termites and compliant with the BPR. Only authorized masterbatches for the purpose of conferring a biocidal property to an article can be used inside the European Union.

Finding suppliers of fluoropolymer color and additive masterbatches able to meet its standards has not always been easy. That inconsistency led to masterbatches that included lumps and lot-to-lot color differences. With RoHS and REACH documentation on all masterbatch orders, international customers were an option once again.

Just a few months ago, we completed the acquisition of the Clariant Masterbatch business, the largest acquisition in the 20-year history of our company. It’s in this spirit that we joined legacy PolyOne and the Clariant Masterbatch business, two complementary businesses, and formed a new one that we’ve named Avient. Such is the case with the Clariant Masterbatch acquisition, where strong free cash flow will allow us to de-lever quickly. 19 AV I E N T I S M O D E S T LY L EV ER ED 1.
