White masterbatch

General information: White masterbatches from ANTIEN are concentrates of Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) in a polymer carrier. They offer a convenient way of incorporating TiO2 in thermoplastics to provide white color, without contamination by dust. They have perfect dispersion and optimized flow properties, resulting to maximum hiding power and easy processing. Titanium Dioxide used in all masterbatches (unless otherwise specified) is of the RUTILE COATED type, which ensures high opacity, colouring strength, dispersibility and exnt UV-stability. Certain types of ANTIEN masterbatches contain a combination of TiO2 with other white pigments, for an optimized cost/performance.Â

INJECTION & BLOW MOULDING Application:Â WHITE MASTERBATCH Ti20, Ti30, Ti40, Ti50 are mainly used for these applications. They contain an amount of Calcium Carbonate, which offers dimensional stability, rigidity and stiffness to the final products, as well as faster mould cooling, i.e. increased output. WHITE MASTERBATCH Ti35, Ti45, Ti55Â are also widely used for injection & blow-moulding. Due to the relatively low level of pigment that thick articles require, to obtain the necessary opacity it is generally advisable to use masterbatches with low to medium pigment content, so that the addition level of the masterbatch does not fall below 1 %, to ensure correct mixing and homogenization with the polymer. For applications requiring anti-static properties to facilitate production and/or for end use purposes, there are 3 specially designed grades, FILM Application:Â For relatively thick LDPE films (shopping bags, silage films, heavy duty bags etc. with a thickness of 40-200 mic.) the most suitable products are those containing 40-60 % TiO2, i.e. WHITE Ti50, Ti55, Ti60, Ti65, Ti70. In case the polymer used does not contain slip, it is possible to add slip with WHITE Ti65 (most suitable for LDPE) or Ti60 (most suitable for HDPE), which contain different types/levels of slip additives. For thin LDPE, LLDPE & HDPE film production, masterbatches with high content of TiO2 and the best possible dispersion, such as WHITE Ti60, Ti65, Ti70

PP & PS Thermoforming & Injection Moulding:Â WHITE PS & PP masterbatches are recommended for PS & PP products, where they ensure better dispersion and homogenization than PE based masterbatches and do not affect the mechanical properties of the end product.Â
