A special effect masterbatch is a plastic additive used to produce plastic products with special visual effects on the end product. These masterbatches are made by combining a base polymer with pigments, dye, and other additives that can impart the desired effect on the finished product. These masterbatches are used in several applications such as packaging, automotive parts, toys, electrical components, and consumer products thus making them attractive and increasing their market value. Some of the common types of special effect masterbatches are:
- Metallic: This masterbatch creates a smooth surface on the end product and gives it a glossy and shiny effect similar to that of any metal product. This is a cheaper and more effective alternative to the metallization and coating of the product.
- Fluorescent: This special effect provides a bright fluorescent finish to the applied product. In addition to the functional capabilities, it provides a distinctive color to the good which makes it stand out.
- Pearlescent: This masterbatch provides a pearl-like luster to plastic products making them more visually striking. It is particularly popular in cosmetic and personal care products.
- Light diffuser: This masterbatch is effective in scattering and diffusing light which lowers the refractive index and better heat stability. It is mostly used in LED lights and window panes.
- Color shifting: This masterbatch can change colors depending on the angle they are viewed.
- Reflective: As the name suggests, this masterbatch contains reflective particles that give a reflective finish to the product.
