Description

Color masterbatch is a concentrated pigment carrier system — pigment dispersed at high loading into a compatible polymer matrix, then pelletized so converters can meter color into natural resin at the machine throat instead of handling raw powder. BASTONE produces the series at its Hangzhou facility under proprietary formulations developed by the group's R&D center, matching carrier resin to the customer's base polymer rather than shipping one universal grade against every application.

Dispersion performance drives everything downstream. BASTONE's formulation delivers melt mixing dispersibility with no color spots and no color flow, which matters most in thin-wall injection parts and blown film where a single agglomerate becomes a visible defect or a film break. The group's compounding line controls pigment wetting and shear history through the extrusion step, and each batch passes dispersion inspection before packing.

Thermal and durability specifications define the processing window. The masterbatch withstands 220–280°C, covering standard ABS and HIPS injection temperatures at the low end and PP extrusion and fiber spinning at the upper end, so a single grade often serves multiple lines within one plant. Migration resistance rates at grade 4 or better and sun resistance falls in the 5–8 range on the blue wool scale — meaningful for parts in contact with other materials and for components with outdoor or window-adjacent service life.

The series also holds comb strength retention, meaning the colored compound keeps the mechanical performance of the natural resin rather than trading impact strength for appearance. Converters running engineering-grade ABS housings or PP structural parts get color without requalifying the part's mechanical envelope.

As an R&D-oriented chemical group with four production sites and one R&D center, BASTONE develops color formulations against customer targets in-house — carrier selection, pigment package, and let-down ratio are all adjusted at the formulation stage rather than sourced from a third-party compounder.

Applications

Injection molding takes the largest share. Consumer housings, automotive interior trim, and appliance parts in ABS and HIPS run in the 220–260°C range, well inside the masterbatch's thermal rating, and the no-color-spot dispersion specification protects the Class-A surfaces those parts are judged on. Comb strength retention lets molders color impact-modified grades without losing the drop-test performance the part was designed around.

Extrusion and blown film work depends on the same dispersion behavior for different reasons. In PE and PP film, an undispersed pigment agglomerate concentrates stress and initiates a bubble break, so the no-color-flow specification translates directly into line uptime. Coating and lamination lines see the same benefit at the die.

Fiber processing sets the hardest test. Spinning demands both the upper end of the temperature range and consistent particle geometry for accurate gravimetric feeding, which is why the product ships as uniform cylindrical pellets. Migration resistance at grade 4 or above matters here and in any application where the colored part contacts packaging, adjacent components, or textiles over its service life.

Blow molding, vacuum forming, and granulation round out the process set. For compounders producing pre-colored pellets, the 1:20 to 1:50 let-down range gives room to hit target loading without over-diluting the base resin, and the sun resistance rating of 5–8 supports outdoor containers, garden products, and building components exposed to daylight.

Why Choose BASTONE

Color matching and COA verification of palletized masterbatch before export release
Color matching and COA verification before palletized masterbatch is released for export

BASTONE manufactures this masterbatch — the product is not resold. Compounding, pelletizing, dispersion checks, and color verification happen at the Hangzhou facility under BASTONE's own quality control, so a buyer raising a color deviation or a dispersion complaint reaches the people who ran the line, not a trading desk relaying a message to an unnamed plant.

Formulation depth comes from the group structure. BASTONE operates four production sites and one R&D center staffed by chemists who develop pigment packages and carrier systems in-house. Custom color work — matching a customer standard, changing carrier resin, or adjusting the let-down ratio to fit an existing feeder setup — happens in BASTONE's own lab, and sample batches come off the same equipment that will run production.

Buying direct from the manufacturer removes the trading-house markup that sits on most Chinese masterbatch exports. Zhejiang Bastone Technology Co., Ltd handles the export side with 10+ years of documentation and logistics experience across the group's chemical portfolio, so trade terms, packaging format, and shipping arrangements adapt to the buyer's requirements rather than a fixed template.
