Black masterbatch or black pigment is the most important part of producing black plastic products, because polymers in raw form and without additives do not have the desired mechanical properties and appearance characteristics, and the existing polymers alone are not capable of meeting the needs of this industry. For this reason, black masterbatch is used as an additive to create the desired properties.
In general, masterbatch is used to color the product and as an additive to protect the polymer base from ultraviolet radiation.
Black pigment absorbs all wavelengths in the visible region, which results in color and appears black. These pigments have a high tendency to algomerize, and therefore good distribution of soot particles in the polymer resin is of particular importance.
Black masterbatch with the Dative brand causes viscosity, reduces the coefficient of friction and reduces adhesion, and as a result, we will see ease of processability.

Datio brand black pigment is produced using a unique, optimized formula and based on the needs of each industry with different percentages of the highest quality carbon black with very fine particles (20 nanometers) and in appropriate and uniform sizes in different polymer bases for different applications, which improves the dispersion and uniform distribution of soot throughout the polymer base resin. The better the distribution of soot and additives inside the black masterbatch, the better the resulting properties will be.

The following are some of the benefits of Kimia Trava’s black masterbatch:

• Resistance to destructive UV rays present in sunlight
• Uniform distribution of soot throughout the base polymer substrate
• Improvement of physical and mechanical properties of the product
• Improvement and modification of processability
• Gloss and brilliance
• High coverage and deep coloring
• Resistance of the final product to adverse weather conditions
• Easy flowability

Due to the wide range of physical, mechanical and chemical properties offered by the black pigment produced in the Kimia Trava Tek complex, it can be used in various industries such as: plastic packaging containers, water and sewage pipes and fittings, drip irrigation tape, injection parts, polyethylene films, automotive, polymer sheets, polymer nets and meshes, wires and cables, polyethylene tanks, PP yarn and sacks, etc.

This type of product is also known among polymer and plastic manufacturers as soot masterbatch, carbon black masterbatch, black pigment, black granules, etc.

This section mentions some of the uses of black masterbatch.

Black masterbatch, industrial bucket grade

Black pigment for the production of industrial packaging containers is produced in the Kimia Trava Tek complex using a special formulation specific to this industry with 40% of the highest quality industrial soot (carbon black) with very fine particles. This type of masterbatch is produced by taking into account the parameters required in the container production industry by injection molding, in accordance with current world standards and using the highest quality raw materials, which results in thermal stability at high temperatures during production, ease of material flow in molds, and a suitable gloss and appearance of the final product.

Datio brand soot masterbatch complies with all the standards required in this industry, such as: impact test, pressure test, drop test, color migration test (no color transfer into the contained solution), etc. It is used by many manufacturers of injection-molded industrial containers and buckets for packaging various products such as: construction paint, adhesives, automotive engine oil, grease, food, medicine, pesticides, detergents, or products that may be corrosive such as solvents, deicers, chemicals, etc.

Black masterbatch, inflatable container grade

Kimia Tarava’s black masterbatch with the Datio brand, due to its appropriate concentration and quality and deep coloring in the production of containers by the blow molding method, which after blowing into it, the product wall becomes thinner, allows the desired quality to be achieved with the least amount of consumption, and also the low consumption percentage of Kimia Tarava’s masterbatches reduces the cost price of the final product, which can be considered a cost-effective and economical product for manufacturers of inflatable packaging containers.

Kimia Tarava’s black pigment, due to passing all the required tests in the inflatable packaging container industry, such as color migration, no color spread into the contained solution, drop test, pressure test, etc., is a suitable option for the production of inflatable containers specifically for packaging products such as: automotive engine oil, food, medicine, solvents, deicers, toxins, detergents, chemicals or products that may be corrosive, etc.

Black masterbatch grade for polyethylene films

This type of masterbatch, using completely new and high-quality raw materials and the best type of carbon black with high concentration, provides excellent coverage in products with low thickness, thermal stability at high production temperatures, etc. Another advantage of this black masterbatch set is the lack of calcium carbonate in its formulation, which results in uniform color distribution, no disruption in the production process, and no rupture in the balloon during production, which are important for polyethylene film manufacturers.

Black masterbatch grade of polyethylene films Color Polymer is used in products such as: various types of PE polyethylene films, nylon and nylonex, single-layer and multi-layer nylons, wide greenhouse and agricultural nylons, etc.

Black masterbatch grade for polyethylene fittings and pipes

Black masterbatch of the connection grade is formulated and produced by considering the standards and parameters required in the polyethylene connection production industry by injection molding, as well as observing the standards required in this industry, such as testing: impact, corrosion, tensile and compressive stresses, temperature changes, resistance to corrosive and chemical soils, resistance to cracking and breakage, etc.

The black color created by the Color Polymer black masterbatch prevents the growth of algae and sediments inside the connections and prevents water contamination, which is due to the high quality of the soot used in this type of masterbatch.

Black Masterbatch Grade Drip Irrigation Tape Type

This type of product is produced in accordance with the parameters and standards required in the drip irrigation tape production industry, in accordance with current world standards and using the highest quality raw materials and completely new, this advantage provides thermal stability at high temperatures during production and high coloring in products with low thickness.

The black color created by Kimia Tarava’s soot masterbatch prevents the growth of algae and sediments inside the tape and prevents water contamination, which is important due to the high quality of the soot used in the black masterbatch of this collection.
Other advantages of Kimia Tarava’s black pigment include creating anti-UV properties in the tape, which prevents decay and increases the lifespan and prevents the tape from drying out and becoming brittle in the sunlight in the final product.

The different grades of black masterbatch used in the pipe and strip industries are as follows:
