Instead of working with a pure, dusting pigment or powder additive, the processor adds ready granulate that disperses evenly in the plastic melt.</p> <p>From the terminal&rsquo;s perspective, masterbatch is a material with an important logistical feature: it flows through the same stream as the base granulate, often together with it, and is handled almost identically. The difference lies not in the physics of the transfer but in the weight of the individual batch and in the absolute requirement of cleanliness — because a few percent of concentrate decides the quality of the whole product.</p>
