Functional Additives
UV stabilizer, antistatic, antioxidant, slip, antiblock, desiccant and laser-marking masterbatch.
Product Overview
Functional additive masterbatch enhances the performance, durability and processability of plastics beyond color. From UV stabilization and antistatic protection to desiccant and laser marking, MHK Color provides a complete additive toolkit that solves processing bottlenecks and extends product service life — all metered cleanly and precisely in pellet form.
What Is Functional Additive Masterbatch?
Functional additive masterbatch concentrates performance additives — UV stabilizers, antioxidants, antistatic agents, slip and antiblock agents, desiccants and laser-marking additives — in a polymer carrier for clean, precise dosing. Low addition rates deliver significant improvements in quality and durability, avoiding the mess and inconsistency of liquid or powder additives.
Key Benefits of Functional Additive Masterbatch
- Low addition rates (0.5%–5%) for cost efficiency
- Solves processing bottlenecks such as film blocking and static buildup
- Improves product quality and outdoor durability
- Custom additive blends for specific performance needs
- FDA and REACH compliant options for regulated applications
- 15+ additive categories covering the full performance spectrum
- Excellent dispersion with no additive migration or blooming
- Compatible with PE, PP, PS, ABS and engineering resins
Technical Highlights
MHK Color offers 15+ additive categories at 0.5%–5% loading, compatible with all polyolefin resins across processing temperatures of 160–280°C. Our additive masterbatches are formulated for thermal stability so the active ingredients remain effective through high-temperature processing.
How to Choose the Right Functional Additive Masterbatch
Choosing the right additive masterbatch depends on the specific failure you need to prevent.
- For outdoor products, choose UV stabilizers (HALS + UV absorbers)
- For film processing, choose slip and antiblock additives
- For recycled resins, add desiccant masterbatch to remove moisture
- For electronic packaging, choose antistatic grades
- For permanent coding, choose laser-marking additives
Typical Applications
Functional additives are used in agricultural film, electronic packaging, recycled resin processing, food packaging, industrial film and wire and cable. They turn ordinary plastics into high-performance materials with longer service life and better processability.
