PLA Masterbatch
Details:

Developed using premium-grade Polylactic Acid (PLA) as the carrier, this masterbatch ensures excellent pigment dispersion, thermal stability, and mechanical strength, making it ideal for film extrusion, injection molding, thermoforming, and 3D printing applications.

Unlike conventional colorants, our PLA Masterbatch enhances both appearance and function — delivering high gloss, uniform color tone, and easy processing while maintaining full compostability and biodegradability. Whether you’re producing eco-packaging, single-use tableware, or biodegradable films, this product provides the perfect balance between sustainability and visual impact.

Advantages

  1. Improves PLA’s color brightness and consistency.
  2. Enhances melt flow and processing efficiency.
  3. Reduces pigment dusting and improves cleanliness.
  4. Maintains biodegradability — fully eco-compliant.
  5. Available in high pigment loading (up to 40%).
  6. Low migration, odorless, and heavy metal-free.
  7. Excellent compatibility with injection, extrusion, and blowing grades.
