The value chain of color masterbatch starts with the procurement of raw materials suppliers. The key components of any type of masterbatch are polymers, dispersants, and carrier resins. The raw materials are chemically synthesized to form a typical concentrate, which is then compounded by color masterbatch producers. Compounding is a two-stage process; gathering ingredients and then mixing them together by applying heat and shear stress to produce a homogenized pellet. Compounders improve the properties of thermoplastic polymers by incorporating additives in molten state. The top compounders of color masterbatch include RTP Company (U.S.) and Astra Polymers (Saudi Arabia). A great amount of effort and expertise is required to manufacture raw materials suitable for different end-use industries. The major end-use industries where these color masterbatch is used include packaging, building & construction, consumer goods, automotive, agriculture, automotive, and others.
