Italmaster Information

Since 1991, Italmaster is the perfect partner for the development, production and sales of masterbatches, monopigments and compounds. Every year, around 600 tonnes of masterbatches are developed and produced at our premises. The developed masterbatches, according to the required specifications of the customer, are the result of thorough co-engineering, internal lab work and many years of know-how. A masterbatch is an additive that is used to color plastics and synthetic filaments (color masterbatch) and/or adding mechanical and thermal properties to plastics and synthetic filaments (additive masterbatch). It is a concentrate of pigments and/or additives that is encapsulated with a polymer-plastic carrier by an extrusion process and then cooled down and cut into finished granulates. A mono-batch contains color pigments, a combi-batch combines color pigments and additives. At Italmaster, pre-dispersed monopigments (granulate form) are mixed to develop the desired custom-specific masterbatch in a variety of colors. Further in the process the mix of granulates are extruded into the customer-specific masterbatch, the semi-finished product for the plastic processor.
