Blend Colours

For the uninitiated, plastic in its original form has no colour. It is very unwieldy, dull, and extremely underwhelming. However, it is one of the most widely used components in any device or as a stand-alone product across the globe. Its application can range from simple plastic bags, kitchen utensils, laptop, high-end furniture and vehicle components among others. It is also the most commonly used material for most electronic goods. Plastic flexibility, tensile strength, durability, and ability to adopt any colour or shape make it a favourite among manufacturers across industries. Plastic is also easy to manufacture and costs very little which allows users to produce high-quality products and gain a high-profit margin without sacrificing the products overall build and quality. So how is it that we can use plastic in so many ways given the fact that this material is hard to handle in its base form? Masterbatch is a unique additive that comes in solid or liquid form that helps plastic...

The automobile industry is one of the top industries in the world for a very good reason; we need to travel and businesses depend on it for several tasks. Automobiles are one of the major catalysts that pushed human civilisation into the modern era and they will remain one of the major factors that will determine the future of humankind as a whole. Quite dramatic for an inanimate object controlled by humans and yet, it holds the key to our future. In the current scheme of things, an automobile is no more just a beast of burden but also an object of desire for many. We no longer live in a time where we had only a handful of companies that manufactured similar-looking vehicles in no more than two or three colour variants. The rest of the industry focused on commercial and industrial applications which were of no concern or interest to the common populace. With improved economic conditions and the inflow of numerous business ventures, India has become a hub for the automobile industry th...

When plastic was manufactured on a large scale for commercial and industrial purposes, it took off far beyond anyone’s expectations. Easy production, low cost, and endless applications made it a favourite in every household and manufacturing industry across the globe. There is not one family in the globe that doesn’t own plastic-based utensils and home appliances. Such is the reach and functionality of plastic-based products. However, with time and increased usage, a few challenges came to light which could impact the environment and users negatively if not acted upon with utmost urgency. This is where antimicrobial masterbatches can help us overcome this challenge. An antimicrobial masterbatch is used to treat plastic and polymer so it can extend its life cycle and negate the growth of microbes. Here is how it helps:     Minimises physical degradation: Plastic starts breaking down when microbes, bacteria, and mould grow on plastic. Antimicrobial masterbatch will inhibit...
