Solutions for Masterbatches - Sachtleben Chemie GmbH

Specialities for MasterbatchesSachtleben products are already in use in a wide rangeof applications in the plastics industry. Our pigments,additives, fillers and extenders with their diverse functionsmeet the demanding needs of masterbatch producers,compounders, composite manufacturers, elastomer usersand the makers of PVC sections and films.TiO 2/ ZnS/BaSO 4technologyTITANIUM Dioxide• Anatase pigments• Rutile pigments• Ultrafine-particlesFUNCTIONAL Additives• Synthetic barium sulfate• Zinc sulfide• LithoponeMasterbatchesToday masterbatches are the most wide-spread option to givefunction to polymers. In both polyolefins and engineering plastics,masterbatches are becoming ever more firmly established for usein the coloration of polymers. Two third of all plastics are coloredvia masterbatches. The masterbatch market itself is approximatelyequally split into black, white, colored and additive masterbatches.The majority of all thermoplastics is used for packaging material,others for electronics, automotive or construction. Customersnow increasingly require lower-cost coloration, greater flexibilityand ever more demanding mechanical properties. Masterbatchestherefore have to offer multifunctional products in order to usethem in a broad variety of different application For white batches,for example, food contact approval is generally required forstandard packaging qualities, even if some share would not beused for packaging of food. Another general requirement is thebluish white undertone whereas specialized batches for durableapplication or batches for coloring of multi-layer films are stillregarded as something special.Based on decades of experience in the production of the mostdiverse range of titanium dioxide and zinc/barium-based particlesSachtleben offers a broad variety of different pigments, additivesand fillers for all facets of masterbatches, independent of beingfor white, colored, additive or even black solutions.3
