Grank March 27, 2023 Uncategorized 0 WHAT IS HYDROPHOBIC MASTERBATCH? WHERE IT IS USED? As the name indicates, hydrophobic masterbatches are designed to repel water or make the plastic product water-resistant. This masterbatch usually combines hydrophobic agents fluoropolymers which are combined in the resin to impart the properties. It is used in various applications such as films, sheets, and coatings. It can also be used to improve the processability of the end product, giving it better mechanical and physical capabilities. Some of its common applications are:Non-Woven – For improving surface property of Non-Woven Fabric, Blend colours has developed Hydrophobic MB which provide excellent water, alcohol and blood repellence to polypropylene nonwovens.Films – For improving transparency and better protection of packaged item. It is used to remove oil and water from pacaking & manage oil spills.Medical – Most medical equipment used in this field are water-resistant since they come in touch with various bodily fluids. This property ensures the device is protected from rust and corrosion while also making it easier to sterilise it after use.With expanding applications across industries and functionalities, the application of hydrophobic masterbatch is also expected to rise in coming years and companies engaged in the production and distribution of masterbatches are poised to take advantage of the prevailing market condition while adhering to a slew of quality regulations.
