Service Overview
Service Overview
Masterbatches and additives make up a small share of a formulation, yet determine up to 90% of the final product properties
We perform in-depth concentrate analysis, checking compatibility with the polymer matrix and pigment dispersion quality
For whom:
Masterbatch manufacturers, process engineers, and raw-material procurement specialists
Service Formats:
Colored and white masterbatches, calcium carbonate fillers, UV stabilizers, processing additives, and antistatic agents
Parameters Tested
We measure key indicators in the following areas:
Active Ingredient Concentration
Determination of pigment or filler content using ashing or extraction methods
Dispersion and Distribution
Assessment of particle size reduction and uniform particle distribution in the polymer to prevent specks and streaks in the finished product
Compatibility
Evaluation of additive interaction with a specific grade of base polymer
Thermal Stability
Verification that the additive retains its properties and color at critical processing temperatures
Effect on MFI
Analysis of how the additive affects the flow properties of the base material
Methodology and Standards
All tests are conducted in strict accordance with the following standards:
International Organization for Standardization
Effect of additives on rheology
developed based on 7 years of manufacturing experience
Equipment
The laboratory is equipped with modern instrumentation
-
High-temperature muffle furnaces for determining composition purity
-
Microscopy for evaluating pigment dispersion quality
-
Equipment for producing test specimens (laboratory extruder/press)
Client Outcomes
Supplier Verification
Verification that the active ingredient dosage matches the declared specification
Dosage Optimization
Recommendations for the minimum effective dosage without loss of performance
Defect Prevention
Identification of causes of poor colorability or product brittleness resulting from low-quality additives
