They also can be combined with specific colorants into a single, customized masterbatch to simplify manufacturing. 

By selecting these advanced masterbatch colorants, manufacturers who produce bio-degradable polymer packaging can avoid the significant costs and time required to test their products for at-home compostability.

Customers have the flexibility to choose a solid masterbatch or liquid concentrate version to meet their process and application requirements.”

Solid masterbatch colorants

The new masterbatch can be used in all PET bottles, including those for water, beverage and personal care packaging.

Solution-dyed fibers are created when polymers are mixed with a specialized colorant and additive masterbatch, then melted.

Available as a solid masterbatch, the additive can be extruded with packaging resins without the need for extra equipment.
