Applications

One of the most common ways in which plastics products are made is by injection molding. In this process, the material (in this case the polymer masterbatch) is fed into a heated barrel where they are melted and then 'injected' in the chosen mold to take the desired shape of the object. Practically all the plastic products made today are manufactured by injection molding - from the smallest household item to car bumpers and more! Injection Molding is widely used in the manufacturing industry and with the use of newer technology like 3D printers, its applications continue to widen.

It is extremely important that the masterbatch used be of a specific and high-quality in order to yield the best product - not just in terms of looks but also its functionality. Vibrant Colortech specialises in manufacturing masterbatches for Injection Molding that are suitable and expressly designed for the product in mind. We provide black, white and customised color masterbatches also including special effects additive masterbatches for Injection Molding.

Blow Molding is the process by which hollow plastic items are made. Whether it is the plastic bottle you carry to work, the biscuit container in your kitchen cupboard, or the tube of toothpaste you regularly squeeze - blow molding is used to produce a variety of plastic products, and mostly using our masterbatches!

With blow molding Masterbatches, there is great emphasis on the safety of the polymers, since they will be used to handle food and consumable items. Masterbatches also need to be suitable to the types of blow molding to be performed - Injection blow molding, Extrusion Blow Molding or Stretch Blow Molding. Vibrant Colortech is fully equipped to supply masterbatches for all three types, as well as additive or filler masterbatches to make products with specific qualities and economical.

Our masterbatches for blow molding are food-safe, come in endlessly customizable colors and are suitable for rigid or flexible plastic items.

Film Extrusion is the method by which plastic shopping bags or packets are made. Generally these are made using the blowing technique, in which the polymers are heated, passed into the die or mold and then filled with air until they expand by many times. The inflated 'bubble' is then collapsed rendering two separate sheets.

Depending on the polymer masterbatch used, the film produced will have specific qualities like the tensile strength, flexural strength, visual appeal and toughness. The way colors are customized and the additive masterbatches used also greatly determine the quality and features of the end product.

Virbant Colortech supplies to a number of leading plastic film manufacturers, and our masterbatches have wide applications particularly in the food packaging industry. We supply a range of color and additive masterbatches like anti-block, anti-static as well as UV inhibitors. For single or multi-layer films, we also provide high-grade filler masterbatches.

In an increasing number of ways - clear plastic is slowly replacing glass. Acrylic sheets, as they are called, are now used in window panes, photo frames, on table tops and as laminates where previously people preferred glass. The process by which plastic sheets are made is called sheet extrusion.

Plastic sheets can be further morphed or thermoformed into various articles - food trays, cups, signage items and more. Each of these items requires specific masterbatches. Vibrant Colortech supplies masterbatches in any and every color imaginable for client's specific needs. Our masterbatches offer excellent tensile strength and evenly saturated dispersion.

PP or PE woven sacks are now the norm for storing and transporting many goods - from food grains to fertilizer. Their water-proof nature, tensile strength and durability make them excellent packaging materials. Woven sacks made from PP or PE filaments can also be endlessly customised when it comes to color, labelling or other branding devices. Vibrant Colortech supplies black and white as well as color masterbatches for woven sacks made of PP (polypropylene) or PE (polyethylene) for all kinds of commercial and industrial uses.

Depending on their use, we're able to supply coloured or additive masterbatches that offer specific benefits - like water-resistance, UV resistance or anti-slip. Our masterbatches for PP & PE woven sacks find wide application in agriculture, transportation, building & construction, chemical and manufacturing industries.

Unlike woven sacks, where the PP or PE filaments/yarns are weaved together after extrusion to create sheets; non-woven sacks are bonded together mechanically, chemically or thermally. This gives non-woven sacks better strength, more durability and also makes them more versatile. In recent years, non-woven sacks have increasingly begun to replace jute bags or sacks.

Vibrant Colortech supplies color masterbatches to produce non-woven sacks as per the client's design. For packaging and branding requirements, we ensure high-quality color rendering and high-dispersion that make the end product look attractive and serves the purpose of packaging

Perhaps the simplest application of plastic or polymers, that each of us has used, is the plastic rope. As a clothes-line, as a means of securing luggage or even in construction project - the plastic ropes have ceremoniously replaced jute ones. People prefer polymer ropes because they're stronger, easier to handle, a lot more flexible, last longer and not to mention - come in a variety of colors! As yarn, PE monofilaments also have many uses in place of textiles, outdoor furniture or fabrics.

For monofilaments, Vibrant Colortech supplies masterbatches in all kinds of colors for high-density PE (polyethylene) filaments as well as PP (polypropylene) filaments. Our masterbatches are suitable for extrusion of low-density or medium density PE filaments too. Our masterbatches not only lend high-intensity color with great dispersion, but additives like UV-blockers also make the filament yarn more resistant to water, chemicals, insects and mildew, sunlight and abrasion.

Pipe Extrusion is the specific way in which plastic or PVC pipes are made. The method is similar to that of manufacturing hollow plastic items by blow molding. PVC pipes require specific types of color masterbatches as well as additive masterbatches for imparting UV-protection, anti-static, anti-slip and heat-stabilizing properties to pipes. Vibrant Colors specializes in supplying both of these types, with special grade masterbatches for pipes used in agriculture, industry and automobiles.

The use of high-quality plastics has made agriculture and its allied activities much easier and cost effective. Whether it is in the form of pipes, mulch films or geo textiles, plastic products have contributed significantly to increased and more cost effective crop production. From supplying water, offering protection and even storage or transportation - plastic has bettered every process.

Vibrant Colortech provides Black, Colored and Additive Masterbatches for HDPE Irrigation Pipes, films or sheets for greenhouse purposes or mulching/composting purposes and many others.

Color is without a doubt one of the most important aspects of automobiles today. Color not only adds aesthetic appeal and sales value, but is an important design element and adds functionality to a vehicle.
