Masterbatches increase moulding
productivity
Ampacet's colour and additive masterbatches reduce unit conversion costs and energy use, and often reduce scrap generation.
Ampacet has extended its line of Performance Plus colour and additive masterbatches for use with engineering thermoplastics, including nylon, polycarbonate, ABS, styrene acrylonitrile and polyester These masterbatches increase productivity in injection moulding and extrusion by 15 to 20% compared to those containing conventional pigments and additives

Shell lubricants companies have made sure that their motor oil packaging has the same colour anywhere in the world through an agreement with Ampacet Corporation.
Ampacet's Performance Plus colour and additive masterbatches reduce unit conversion costs and energy use, and often reduce scrap generation.
Performance Plus masterbatches are formulated to lower resin viscosity during processing and improve pigment and additive distribution.
The lower viscosity allows injection moulders to shorten cycle times by processing at lower temperatures and permits extrusion processes to be sped up.
The improved pigment and additive distribution results in the production of more consistent parts and reduced purge times.
"Performance Plus masterbatches were introduced for use with polyolefins in 2004, and we are extending them to engineering thermoplastics", says Rich Novomesky, Market Manager.
"In order to ensure our customers get the most from these masterbatches, we offer them an optimisation process".
"This involves working with our customers to audit and adjust their moulding or extrusion equipment so all elements operate at peak efficiency".
Performance Plus masterbatches are not reactive or toxic, do not migrate, and are safe in all forms of use.
They are effective in both unfilled and filled engineering thermoplastics.
