Color masterbatches are made by mixing pigments into a carrier polymer or resin. Once the pigments are mixed, the mixture is heat treated, twin screw extruded, and cooled. The final step is to shape the concentrated mixture into a vehicle. The process used for color masterbatches varies greatly, but generally involves the same basic steps. This article will explain the different stages of color masterbatches production. It will also provide a general understanding of how each is produced.
