ABS Masterbatch
ABS Masterbatch is a concentrate — pigment or functional additive dispersed in a Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene carrier resin — used to color or modify ABS parts during processing. Allzone supplies Masterbatch on ABS carrier across the additive and color…
HDPE Masterbatch
HDPE Masterbatch is a concentrate — pigment or functional additive dispersed in a High-Density Polyethylene carrier resin — used to color or modify HDPE parts during processing.
LDPE Masterbatch
LDPE Masterbatch is a concentrate — pigment or functional additive dispersed in a Low-Density Polyethylene carrier resin — used to color or modify LDPE parts during processing.
LLDPE Masterbatch
LLDPE Masterbatch is a concentrate — pigment or functional additive dispersed in a Linear Low-Density Polyethylene carrier resin — used to color or modify LLDPE parts during processing.
PE Masterbatch
PE masterbatch is pigment or additive concentrated in a polyethylene carrier. The carrier must match your resin class: HDPE, LDPE and LLDPE lines each need their own carrier grade, not a generic "PE" one.
PET Masterbatch
PET Masterbatch is a concentrate — pigment or functional additive dispersed in a Polyethylene Terephthalate carrier resin — used to color or modify PET parts during processing.
PP Masterbatch
PP Masterbatch is a concentrate — pigment or functional additive dispersed in a Polypropylene carrier resin — used to color or modify PP parts during processing.
PS Masterbatch
PS Masterbatch is a concentrate — pigment or functional additive dispersed in a Polystyrene carrier resin — used to color or modify PS parts during processing.

Anti-block / Slip Masterbatch — Film Blocking Together or Feeding Poorly
Freshly wound film sticks to itself, or converted bags do not open or feed through packaging machines.
Anti-fog Masterbatch — Fog or Water Droplets Inside Greenhouse or Food Packaging Film
Water condenses as droplets inside greenhouse film (blocking light) or food packaging film (blurring product view and dripping onto food).
Anti-static Masterbatch — Static Electricity on Plastic Film or Parts
Plastic parts or film hold a static charge — attracting dust, sticking, or creating ESD risk in electronics packaging.
Desiccant Masterbatch — Bubbles, Streaks, or Splay When Processing Regrind or Wet Resin
Regrind or hygroscopic-contaminated resin produces bubbles, silver streaks, or splay marks in the finished part, and drying is not practical or sufficient.
Flame Retardant Masterbatch — Plastic Burns or Fails a Flame Rating
A plastic part must pass a flame-rating standard (e.g., UL 94 V-0, glow-wire, FMVSS 302) and the base resin fails.
Laser-Marking Masterbatch — Cannot Laser-Mark on Dark or Colored Plastic
A part needs a permanent, high-contrast laser mark (barcode, batch code, logo) and the base resin does not respond — the mark is faint, blurred, or invisible.
