Color concentrates or masterbatch? No easy answer.

摘要

"In the packaging industry,where processors might be using a large volume of commodity resin such as polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP),more than 65% of the material is colored using materbatches.In the consumer goods market,where you are more likely to find comparatively small volumes and a wide range of polymers such as ABS and engineering materials,the percentage using colored masterbatches is around 30%," says Stephen Duckworth-Hu,head of consumer goods segment at Clari-ant International,Masterbatches Division (Muttenz,Switzerland).
