Master Batches for Film Extrusion

We are committed to manufacturing top notch Color Master batches, Fillers, Additives and Specialty Performance MBs. We are largely supported by our vast experience, our core floundarian team and repeated innovative product developments. Packaging Industry is one of the most growing sectors with requirement of quality MBs. Considering the same we have a specific range of MBs for Film Applications. 

  • Black MBs – Specific Grades for Mulch, Garbage Bags etc.
  • White MBs – Superior Opacity Grades
  • Color MBs – Customized as per the Shades Required in PP and LL Base
  • Additives – PPA, Slip, OB, FR, Desiccant etc..
  • Fillers – Calcium Fillers, Sodium Fillers, Barium Sulphate Fillers
  • Specialty Performance Additives
  • Bio Plastics
 

Black Masterbatches

We manufacture Black MBs for Film Extrusion in PP and LL base from 35-50% Carbon Loading. The carbon used are the best ones made from tar and oils with zero ash content. This allows high jettness and proper dispersion in the products like mulch films. We have special grades for Mulch Films ensuring quality and long shelf life. For application like garbage bags, liners and so, we have grades in 35-45% loading compatible to used in virgin as well as RP materials. For Tarpaulins, we have grades in black in both PP and LL ensuring high gloss. Suggested Grades :- Status Black, Olive Black, Obsidian Black

White Masterbatches

White being our USP, we are known for the quality White MBs we manufacture. Our White comes with high opacity, whiteness, with additives blended ensuring quality at all times. We manufacture White MBs for Films in 60 and 70 % Tio2 content with adequate additives to impart required properties to the end product. For PP Films, PP base Whites are also made. Our common grades for films are Prime White and Pearl White which imparts good results at a dosing of 4-8 %. Suggested Grades: – Prime White, Pearl White,
Beluga White

Color Masterbatches

We manufacture Color MBs in numerous shades. We have the most advanced lab to develop the colors as per the samples. The color MBs comprise of UV to avoid the color fade and the high-end colors also comprises of some other additives to impart several other properties to the end product. We also do have a standard range of Colors comprising of the common colors Red, Blue, Green, Orange, Yellow and Pink in PE base for applications not requiring specific color tone. Colors mostly asked in Films like Yellow, Golden Yellow, etc.. are the regular grades we manufacture in PE and PP base.

Additive Masterbatches

Since, the film industry is one of the biggest users of various types of additives, we manufacture number of additives for the film applications. These additives ensure the perfect infusion of the properties in the end products. The pigments used in these additives are the best in grades ensuring minimum dosing of these MBs and giving quality output in the end products. The additives for the film industry are listed below

  1. Optical Bright nor
  2. Bluish Optical Bright nor – This is an improvised version of the standard OB. The results are more refined than the other one.
  3. Anti Slip Additive MB – Ensuring easy and smooth opening.
  4. FR Additive MB – Effective Additive for Achieving various Levels like V0, V1, V2 etc.
  5. PPA-Processing Aid Lubricant ensuring shining to the end product.
  6. Anti Fog – Avoids formation of fog/condensation on the packaging materials.
  7. Impact Modifier – Impact/Stress/split resistant. Improves processability.
  8. Shade Enhancer – used in middle layer to enhance the color of the outer Layer
  9. Desiccant Vacuum Packing ensuring no air contact and extremely good results.
  10. Slit Additive MB-Ensuring smooth tearing

Filler Masterbatches

We manufacture Calcium Fillers, Sodium Fillers and Barium Fillers for the Film Applications. The base of Sodium and Barium is usually PE whereas Calcium Filler is also made in PP base.

Calcium Filler

This is suggested where opacity is not a concern and can be used in Milky Films. This comes under the name Sequent Filler and is made in both LL and PP base. It various grades where the difference is in the polymer percentage and the quality of calcium. The higher the grade – the higher the dosing without much compromising the properties of the film and vice versa.

Suggested Uses All types of opaque Films in LL and PP base. Suggested Dosing 5-50%

Sodium Filler

The Na2SO4 Filler MB is highly recommended for PE Packaging Films, shopping bags and all sorts of natural films except Stretch and Shrink Films. This is manufactured by blending PE as carrier resin with Sodium Sulphate and some additives. This results in excellent transparency, favorable glossiness and great tensile strength on the end products. The benefits of using this Filler can be understood by the following properties it holds.

  • Retains Transparency
  • Imparts Glossiness
  • Good Appearance Dispersibility
  • Improves Mechanical Properties
  • Maintains Good Film Break Strength
  • Low Density
  • Shock Resistance
  • Acid and Alkali Resistance
  • Environment Friendly
  • Compatible to use in PE and HDPE
 

This comes under the Name Explicab Filler and the Grades A 1, A1 + are recommended for effective results.

Suggested Uses Natural Films except Strech and Shrink Films. Only LL Base Films. Suggested Dosing 5-50%

Barium Sulphate Filler

Among multiple types of fillers like Calcium and Sodium, Barium Filler stands diverse out of these all. The benefits of using this Filler can be understood by the following properties it holds.

  • Good Dispersion
  • High Density
  • Enhances Rigidity
  • Improved Anti Corrosion
  • Better Weather Resistance
  • Increases Tensile Strength of the End products
  • Increases Acid and Alkali Resistance
  • Increases Gloss & Appearance of the End Products
 

This comes under the Name Stead Filler and the Grades X 1, X1 + are recommended for effective results. 

Suggested Uses Agricultural Films like Mulch, Silage, Greenhouse etc. Food Packaging Films. Shrink/Stretch Films Suggested Dosing 2-40%


Specialty Performance MBs

Flounder Colors has always been working to invent formulations that add on to the performance of the end products. Our extensive expertise in the chemicals has ushered us to develop several additives that has changed the magnitude of the plastic industry specifically in regard to the quality and consistency of the products. One of it is formulated to use in the Film Extrusion Industry.

FLRN TP 72

This additive is created for the tape line application where tape strength is a major concern for these industries. Since, calcium is highly used which in turn reduces the tape strength and tape breakage are a common issue faced. This additive helps to impart some additional strength to the tape. This helps to increase production which is usually disturbed by regular tape breakage. It imparts high flexural strength to the tape and to an extent reduces the water carrying concerns. This additive does not allow water to pass through and thus avoiding the water carrying problem. This additive also transmits electrical resistance properties to the end product. Importantly, this product makes low coefficient to fiction which in turn makes a proper sintering of the polymers and further reducing the melting concerns. This product is compatible to be used in Film Extrusions also.

Suggested Dosing 1-3%

Polymer Base PP/HDPE/LLDPE


Bio Plastics

Flounder’s approach towards the environment has led us to be more attentive towards the Compostable MBs. We have a portfolio of solutions for renewable polymers market. We manufacture this under the name BIOPFC made from PLA, PBAT and natural fillers like corn starch, wheat starch, wood husk etc. These are compatible to be used from transparent to opaque applications. 

We offer the Following Products to the Film Extrusion in Bio Plastics

  1. White MBs
  2. Filler MBs
