The pigments and additives in these masterbatches were carefully chosen to meet industry requirements and legislation, while offering optimum coloration. They can be used at normal loadings and can be dosed in the standard way. They can be processed by injection, extrusion, blow molding and can be used in a range of end-use applications: films (stretch and shrink), netting, punnets, trays, plant pots, bottles, waste bags etc.
