• Color Masterbatch And Compounding for Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPE)

  Thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) are naturally colorless and can be colored using pigments or dyes through pre-coloring or in-process coloring methods. In-process coloring, often performed with twin-screw extruders, allows pigments to disperse evenly during melting without adding extra thermal stress. The most common approach is using color masterbatch, which combines pigments with compatible carrier resins such as PP, PE, PS, or EVA to ensure uniform color and good material performance. Proper carrier selection, dilution ratio, and process optimization help achieve consistent, high-quality colored TPE pellets for various molding and extrusion applications.

• Why Masterbatch Is Preferred Over Pigment Powder in Plastic Coloring

  Masterbatch is a pigment or dye concentrate encapsulated in a carrier resin, offering superior dispersion, stability, color consistency, safety, and cleanliness compared to direct pigment powder coloring in plastics. It ensures precise dosing, protects pigments from moisture and oxidation, and eliminates dust hazards. Made from pigments, carrier resin, dispersing agents, and optional additives, masterbatch comes in various resin types, grades, and applications, with specialized types providing the best compatibility. It can also deliver functional properties such as UV resistance or flame retardancy, maintains heat stability under normal processing, and is produced through methods like ink dispersion, flushing, or kneading using single- or twin-screw extruders.

• TPU And PVC Blending Modification (Part II)

  This article explores the blending modification of TPU and PVC to improve material performance and reduce costs. PVC/TPU blends show excellent oil resistance and enhanced flame retardancy, although higher TPU content can reduce solvent resistance. Adding chlorinated polyethylene (CPE) as a third component further improves tear strength, thermal stability, and processability while helping maintain TPU’s flexibility at low temperatures. The blending ratio significantly affects mechanical and shape memory properties, with ratios like TPU/PVC 90/10 offering optimal performance. Combining TPU, PVC, and copolyester (COP) can also produce melt-processable rubber that combines toughness, cost efficiency, and low-temperature flexibility.
