Masterbatch

Masterbatch is a granule of polymer (plastic, rubber or elastomer) containing pigments or other additives dispersed at high concentration in a carrier material. The carrier must be compatible with the main polymer so it blends easily during moulding, giving the final product the colour and properties of the masterbatch. Typical carriers are PP, PE, PC, PET, PS and ABS.

Polymer masterbatches improve the thermal, mechanical, electrical and processing characteristics of the base polymer. White masterbatches, the most widely used type, contain 10 to 70 percent TiO₂ depending on whether the application is coating or whitening. Filler masterbatches contain 10 to 70 percent minerals. Colour masterbatches are produced to customer specification across a full spectrum of pigments.

Compounds

Compounding is an alternative to masterbatching: the base polymer's thermal, mechanical, electrical and processing characteristics are improved by adding the relevant additives directly. Our main compound lines are engineering, glass-fibre reinforced, filler and rubber compounds, plus engineering alloys.

Engineering compounds

ABS, HIPS, GPS, POM, PC, EVA, PA, POE, MABS, PMMA and SAN with colour and technical properties improved to customer requirement.

GF reinforced

PP/GF and PA/GF with highly improved mechanical strength and chemical resistance.

Filler compounds

Mineral fillers such as talc, calcium carbonate and mica tune the physical and mechanical properties of the base polymer.

Rubber compounds & engineering alloys

NBR, SMR, BR and EPDM compounds with improved appearance and mechanical properties. Alloys blend two or more polymers to reach a target property set.

Additives

Additives are chemicals added to a base material to achieve the desired physical, chemical and mechanical properties, improve processing and extend the shelf life of the final product. Although the quantity is small, they have an outsized effect on performance and stability.

Polystyrene

Polystyrene and related styrenics and polyolefins, the principal materials of packaging, construction and consumer goods.

EPS

Expanded polystyrene: a lightweight cellular plastic of small hollow spherical beads. Produced in a range of densities matched to each application's strength and performance needs.

EPS fire retardant

For building products, a fire retardant is added to the bead before expansion. Expanded with steam and containing only air, it melts rather than burns under high heat.

GPPS

General-purpose polystyrene with excellent transparency, high stiffness and mouldability. Used for cups, trays, CD cases, containers and films.

HIPS

High-impact polystyrene: an amorphous thermoplastic for lower-heat applications offering ease of processing, impact strength and stiffness.

PVC

Rigid (uPVC) and flexible plasticised grades. Rigid PVC serves plumbing, sewage and agriculture; flexible grades span many industries.

Polypropylene for consumer packaging, automotive parts, living hinges and textiles.

PP Homopolymer

Produced with Ziegler-Natta catalysts. Suited to injection and blow moulding, film, fibre, sheet extrusion and thermoforming.

PP Copolymer

Softer with better impact strength, stress-crack resistance and low-temperature toughness than homopolymer.

Base Oil

Group I and Group II base oils for lubricant and lubricant-additive production.

Group I SN-150N

Produced from vacuum fractions of crude oil, selectively refined, solvent dewaxed and hydro-refined. Viscosity 5.0–5.5 cSt at 100 °C and 28.8–33.5 cSt at 40 °C.

Group II SN-150N

Light-grade base oil at the lower end of the light specification, solvent refined, dewaxed and hydrogen treated to remove impurities.

Group I SN-500N

Light-grade base oil at the upper end of the Group I specification, mostly used in lubricant production. Solvent refined and hydrogen treated.

Group II SN-500N

Heavy Group II base oil derived from vacuum distillates by dewaxing and hydro-processing, for lubricants with specific parameter requirements.
