What is Calcium Carbonate Masterbatch?
Calcium Carbonate Masterbatch is a solid, white product made of a carrier material or carrier resin (compatible with the plastic material that it will be blended with while being molten) which contains fine particles or additives of Calcium Carbonate at high levels of concentration.
In other words, Calcium Carbonate Masterbatch is a kind of concentrated mixture containing Calcium Carbonate Particles mixed with a carrier which is then cut into granular shapes. This Masterbatch gives your product a white color and improves it in various ways. Granular size of the Calcium Carbonate of this masterbatch is about ≤5µm. As it was mentioned, Calcium Carbonate Masterbatch is in white color (more than 98% whiteness) and it can be mixed with the raw material in different ratios (from 10 to more than 30 percent depending on the product and the user).
As it was mentioned above, this Masterbatch is one of the most popular plastic fillers and constitutes about half of the total fillers used in plastic industry. We mentioned that there are two reasons for this popularity. First, in most of the cases, Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3) is much cheaper than the base resin and so it lowers the final cost of the product. And second, it can add some beneficial properties to the final product such as increasing tensile modulus and improvement of strength. Calcium Carbonate which is an additive of plastic compounds, decreases surface energy and causes opacity and surface gloss, and it will improve the surface finish.
Calcium Carbonate is found all over the world (this mineral constitutes about 5 per cent of the earth crust) and is one of the most widely used minerals by humankind. Three of the most known natural forms of this mineral are limestone, marble, and chalk. It is also found in everyday aspects of life such as egg shell, seashells, pearls, and blackboard chalk. For industrial purposes, calcium carbonate is extracted from mines.
Carbonate Calcium can be purely obtained from marble as well as from inserting carbon dioxide into a calcium hydroxide solution. PCC and GCC are two primary types of Calcium Carbonate industrial products which have fine and powdery size and are used for different pharmaceutical and industrial applications. GCC stands for Ground Calcium Carbonate and is the natural form, and PCC stands for Precipitated Calcium Carbonate and is the synthetic form of this mineral.
This mineral is widely used in industries of plastic, paper, paint and coatings. Its inexpensiveness, brightness, and light scattering characteristics make it a unique filler.
Calcium Carbonate is one of the main fillers of polymer applications and it is annually consumed more than ten million tons all over the world. Making use of this mineral as plastic filler is proved to increase performance quality and sustainability and improve processing characteristics of the polymer. Also, among other improvements, we can mention improvement of heat conduction, strength, rigidity, and print quality. At higher concentrations, greater results are observed.
This filler causes plastic to heat up and cool down better and faster which means better thermal conductivity and results in energy savings. Furthermore, when plastic cools down faster, surface shrinkage reduces and prevents deformation.
General Usage of Masterbatch (MB)
Generally speaking, Masterbatches can be solid or liquid and are mostly used in plastic products industry. Masterbatch is used for coloring plastic (which is called color Masterbatch) or adding some special properties to it (which is called additive Masterbatch). Masterbatch is an economic option for plastic processors in order to color and process raw material in bulk which will be cheaper. Buying compounded materials instead of raw materials is more expensive and less open to coloring options. Masterbatches are pre-mixed and as the additive is completely dispersed in the carrier resin, you will not have the problem of insufficient dispersion of the color or the additive in the final polymer. As the Masterbatches have a diluted nature in comparison to raw additives, dosing of expensive materials will be done more accurately.
There are black, white and various other colorful Masterbatches available and desired colors can be gained by combining them with each other. You can give your products necessary functions and shelf appeal by adding Masterbatch to them. Additives can affect texture of the plastic and increase their process ability. Some of them have electrical conductivity and some are UV resistant. At the first place, additives cost much less than the base plastic material and so they cut down the costs.
Masterbatches are highly concentrated and a few kilos of them suffice for a ton of natural polymer or raw material. As Masterbatches are granular, you will not have the problems with dust. They are also solvent free and it causes them to have longer shelf life (solvents have the problem of evaporation which results in shorter shelf life).
As it was mentioned before, Masterbatches are a mixture of pigments and additives mixed with a carrier material and can contain about 40 to 65 and even up to 80 per cent of the additive. Carrier of the Masterbatch may be based on a wax or some special kind of polymer which is compatible with the raw material with which it is going to be blended. These kind of carriers are called polymer-specific. Wax carriers are universal and general. If the carrier is different from the base plastic, it may modify properties of the product. So, it is recommended to pay attention to the carrier resin when choosing a Masterbatch. The additives and pigments are mixed with the carrier by means of a heating process and after cooling down, resulted Masterbatch is cut into grains.
You can use several Masterbatches for a single polymer at the same time. It means several color Masterbatches and additive Masterbatches can be used simultaneously.
Masterbatches can be fed to the machine at the beginning of the operation with the host polymer or they can be added later.
