PERFORMANCE MASTERBATCHES - COLOUR AND PERFORMANCE MASTERBATCHES

Performance special effects: Providing unique selling points (USP's) in end products

Divider
These are masterbatches designed to produce a specific end use performance effect in the final product such as temperature sensitive, light sensitive, fragrances, glow in the dark.
'Product Performance Special Effects' provide the potential to create real unique selling points ( USP'S) for your end product. These masterbatches are carefully engineered to be fully effective in the host polymer. These create desire in your customers arising from the useful or practical application in everyday life. These masterbatches are of significant value in your new product development plans.

There are factors to be considered before embarking on costly development. From the masterbatch design point of view we have tried to tabulate the ones that are likely to be of particular interest:-
