When it comes to coloring plastics, there are two common options: pigments and masterbatch. But what exactly are these two terms, and which one is the right choice for your project? Pigment refers to a colored substance that is added to plastics to achieve a specific hue. Pigments can be organic or inorganic, and they come in a variety of forms, including powders, pastes, and liquids. When added to plastic, pigments disperse evenly throughout the material, resulting in a solid color. Masterbatch, on the other hand, is a concentrated mixture of pigments or dyes that is added to natural resin. The masterbatch is then mixed with the plastic to create a specific color. Unlike pigments, masterbatch is pre-dispersed, which means it can be added to plastic in smaller quantities while still achieving the desired color.
