Agricultural Film Masterbatch
Direct Answer
Agricultural Film Masterbatch is the Masterbatch selection problem for blown or cast agricultural film extrusion — typically in LDPE, LLDPE, EVA. There is no single SKU for this application: the right grade depends on your polymer, process window, color target, end-use, and any regulatory requirement. Use this page to gather the specification, then submit an RFQ with the 8 fields listed at the bottom.
1. What Are You Manufacturing?
Greenhouse film, mulch film, silage film, low-tunnel film — often multi-season and UV-exposed.
2. Which Polymer Is Used?
Typical resin systems for this application: LDPE, LLDPE, EVA. The Masterbatch carrier must be compatible with the base resin — a Masterbatch selected for the wrong carrier can cause dispersion problems, appearance defects, or loss of mechanical properties.
3. Which Masterbatch Families Are Commonly Evaluated?
- Black
- White/Black co-ex
- UV Additive
- IR / Thermic Additive
- Anti-fog
- Color (green, silver)
4. Which Color Systems Are Typical?
- Black or white/black mulch film
- IR-retentive greenhouse film
- Reflective silver mulch
5. Engineering Considerations
For this application, the pigment and carrier choice must respect outdoor UV lifetime (kLy), thermal behavior, and pesticide compatibility.

7. RFQ-Ready Specification Checklist
An RFQ from this page should include every field below so the supplier can respond without a clarifying round-trip:
- Polymer — grade and MFI (e.g., PP homopolymer, MFI 12)
- Process — blown or cast agricultural film extrusion
- Color target — color family and, if applicable, Pantone or RAL reference
- Loading target — % addition (or "supplier to recommend")
- End-use — indoor / outdoor / food-contact / potable water / chemical / etc.
- Regulatory needs — FDA, EU 10/2011, NSF-61, REACH, RoHS, UN, or industry-specific standard
- Annual volume — kg or MT/year
- Effect requirements — opacity target, UV lifetime, slip / anti-block, laser-marking, anti-static, desiccant, etc.
Application-specific note: Specify region (solar radiation), expected service life (seasons), and pesticide chemistry in use.
