General Purpose AS Color Masterbatch
Standard AS masterbatch for cosmetic packaging, kitchenware, and appliance panels.
Our AS (SAN) color masterbatch delivers excellent color development in styrene-acrylonitrile copolymer. It maintains the inherent transparency, chemical resistance, and high surface gloss of AS resin.
Product Features
- Excellent chemical resistance
- High gloss surface finish
- Transparent, translucent and opaque colors
- Low volatiles for clean molding
- Suitable for cosmetic-grade applications
