Shade direction
Discuss jetness, brightness, and blue or brown undertone requirements.
Masterbatch & filler
Black Masterbatch
Black masterbatch options developed around polymer, processing method, target jetness or undertone, weather exposure, and finished application.
Product overview
Define the black your product needs and the conditions it must run through.
Polymaid supplies black masterbatch for molding, extrusion, film, pipe, cable, automotive, packaging, and other plastic applications. Product selection begins with the required shade, carbon-black performance context, polymer, process, and finished-part requirements.
Dispersion focus
Review the product around the intended resin, dosing, process, and surface expectation.
Application context
Consider indoor or outdoor use, film or part thickness, and relevant production conditions.
Applications
Built around the finished product.
Explore potential applications, then confirm the right grade for your resin and production conditions.

Black masterbatch benchmark
Carbon-black loading changes with the job.
Published manufacturer data shows why black masterbatch should be selected by carrier, application, dispersion requirement, and final carbon-black target rather than color alone.
Independent industry reference examplesValues by weight unless noted
| Application starting point | Concentrate reference | Carrier / compatibility | Selection note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Agricultural mulch film | 35% carbon black | PE / polyolefins | Addition rate depends on final performance |
| Irrigation pipe | 40% carbon black | PE / LDPE, LLDPE, HDPE, PP | 6.25% typical reference addition |
| PS engineering moldings | 30% p-type carbon black | PS / PS, HIPS, ABS, SAN | Flow and dimensional stability are key |
How to use this chart: These figures are independent manufacturer benchmarks, not Polymaid grade specifications. They show the information needed for selection. Polymaid concentration, carrier, dosing, jetness, UV performance, and dispersion must be confirmed on the quotation or technical data sheet for the selected grade.
Black is a performance specification
Two black products can look similar in a sample and behave differently during production. Carbon black type, concentration, carrier compatibility, dispersion, wall thickness, and surface finish influence the final appearance.
Tell us whether the priority is deep jetness, a specific undertone, opacity, processing consistency, or suitability for a defined application. This makes the enquiry more useful than requesting a generic black grade.
Match the grade to the process
Injection molding, blown film, pipe extrusion, and cable applications place different demands on material flow, dispersion, and appearance. The base polymer and production method should therefore be included in every request.
Where outdoor exposure or other functional requirements matter, state them clearly so the team can determine what further technical review or testing is required.
Product questions
A few things worth knowing.
What information is needed for a black masterbatch enquiry?
Provide the polymer, process, target shade or existing sample, finished application, thickness, expected quantity, and any exposure or performance requirements.
Are all black masterbatches the same?
No. Carbon black type, loading, carrier, dispersion, undertone, and application requirements can differ. The correct grade depends on the production context.
Can black masterbatch be discussed for outdoor products?
Yes, but outdoor suitability requires a clear description of exposure and product requirements. Final performance should be validated for the intended application.
