■ Masterbatch
A masterbatch is a concentrated mixture of pigments or additives that is combined with a base polymer during the plastic manufacturing process.
It is used to impart specific characteristics such as color, UV resistance, flame retardancy, and other functional properties to the base plastic.
Masterbatches are typically used in smaller quantities compared to compound resins and are designed to be mixed into the base polymer before processing.
■ Compound Resin
Compound resin, on the other hand, is a pre-mixed material that contains the base polymer combined with other ingredients such as fillers, reinforcements, or additives.
The main difference is that compound resins are typically more complex, with the additives fully integrated into the base resin, making them ready for molding or extrusion.
These resins offer enhanced mechanical properties, heat resistance, or other specialized characteristics and are used in more demanding applications.
In short, masterbatch is typically added to the polymer during processing to modify specific properties, while compound resin is a ready-to-use material with integrated additives for enhanced performance.
