Technical Properties
The manufacturer datasheet for CAM-3046 characterizes the grade through comparative performance rather than a numerical property table. Reported performance covers:
| Property | Reported effect |
|---|---|
| Polymer crystallization rate | Fast |
| Haze, molded article | Low relative to competing transparent masterbatches |
| Cup gloss | High relative to competing transparent masterbatches |
| Sheet flexural modulus | Increased |
| Top-load (compression) strength, thermoformed parts | High |
| Impact resistance | Retained alongside increased hardness |
| Heat deflection temperature | Increased |
| Rigidity and stiffness, PP disposable cups | Significantly increased |
Numerical values for haze percentage, gloss percentage, sheet flexural modulus in MPa and top-load strength appear in the datasheet as comparative charts. BASTONE issues the measured figures, together with recommended let-down ratio and processing conditions, on the batch-specific certificate of analysis and technical data sheet supplied with samples and orders. Request current values before finalizing a formulation — published placeholder numbers help nobody qualifying a grade.
Applications
Disposable polypropylene water cups are the primary application CAM-3046 was developed for. Cup walls run thin to control resin cost, and thin walls flex. Raising the flexural modulus of the PP lets a molder hold the same perceived stiffness at reduced wall thickness, or hold thickness and gain a cup that does not deform in the hand when filled. The higher heat deflection temperature matters equally here, because cups meeting hot-fill or hot-beverage duty must resist softening at service temperature.
Thermoformed packaging is the second core outlet. Parts formed from CAM-3046-modified sheet show top-load strength and impact resistance together, which is the specification pair that governs stackable containers — deli tubs, dessert cups, portion packs and tray systems that must survive palletizing without column collapse and without cracking on drop. Higher sheet flexural modulus feeds directly into that top-load number.
Clarity-driven PP packaging forms the third group. Where the pack sells the product through the wall, the low haze and high gloss CAM-3046 delivers put PP into visual competition with more expensive transparent polymers. Converters gain the appearance without moving to a different resin family and without the pricing that comes with one.
Across all three, the shared driver is cost-in-use. CAM-3046 is a masterbatch dosed at let-down into standard PP, so a converter upgrades an existing grade on an existing line rather than qualifying a new base resin.
Why Choose BASTONE
BASTONE manufactures CAM-3046 — the grade is not traded, rebranded or bought in. Production runs at BASTONE's own facility under the Hangzhou Economic Development Zone headquarters, with incoming additive inspection, in-process compounding control and finished-pellet release testing handled by BASTONE staff. Buyers deal with the party that controls the formulation, so a technical question about dispersion, let-down ratio or a specific PP base resin gets answered by the people who built the product.
The R&D center behind CAM-3046 is what separates BASTONE from a trading house selling someone else's masterbatch. BASTONE's chemists can evaluate CAM-3046 against a customer's own PP grade, adjust dosage recommendations for a particular wall thickness or cycle target, and support qualification trials with lab data. Customers running unusual base resins or demanding haze targets get formulation work, not a datasheet forwarded from a supplier.
Direct manufacturer supply removes the layers between plant and buyer. There is no trading margin stacked on the price, and order quantities, packaging format and delivery scheduling are set against BASTONE's own production plan. Export moves through Zhejiang Bastone Technology Co., Ltd, the group's export platform, with more than 10 years of export documentation and logistics experience behind it — flexible on trade terms, packaging configuration and port arrangements, and set up to coordinate consolidated shipments for buyers taking CAM-3046 alongside other BASTONE petrochemical and polymer products.
