High density polyethylene HDPE Color Masterbatch
High-density PE masterbatch with superior rigidity, chemical resistance, and heat stability. Ideal for blow molding, injection molding, and pipe extrusion.
Our HDPE color masterbatch is specifically formulated for high-density polyethylene applications. It provides excellent pigment dispersion and color consistency while maintaining the mechanical and physical properties of the host HDPE resin.
Product Features
- Superior color consistency (Delta E < 1.0)
- Excellent heat stability up to 230°C
- Compatible with all HDPE blow molding, injection molding, and extrusion grades
- Good processability with minimal screw slip
- Low VOC formulation suitable for food-contact packaging
