What is liquid color masterbatch? In which fields can it be applied?
Data:2026-02-10 11:29:18 | Visits:

Liquid color is a new generation of plastic colorants that are different from color powders and color granules. Compared with traditional colorants, they have significant advantages and are rapidly becoming the preferred coloring choice for plastic manufacturers. 





What is a liquid color


Liquid color are pre-dispersed liquid plastic colorants, composed of pigments and flowing polymers. Compared with traditional colorant granules, liquid color have better dispersibility and usage efficiency, ensuring that the pigments are evenly distributed in the plastic. 






Types of York liquid color


Colored liquid pigment series PX:

The colors are vivid and there are no obvious color spots. The addition ratio is 0.2% - 0.8%. 


Black liquid color masterbatch PH series:

It has excellent compatibility with plastics, resulting in high black and bright finish. Customized products in carbon black or oil-based black liquid color masterbatch can be provided according to customer requirements. 


White liquid color masterbatch PB series:

High covering power, and even with high addition amounts at any time, it does not affect the production process. 


Pearl liquid color masterbatch PM series:

The pearl particles are evenly dispersed, with a strong effect and no contamination from pearl powder. 






The main advantages of liquid color 

 

1. Superior dispersibility

Compared to traditional solid color pigments, one of the most significant advantages of liquid color is their dispersibility. The flowing polymers in liquid color  facilitate the uniform dispersion of pigments, enhancing the covering power and coloring ability, ensuring uniform color distribution and reducing the risk of defects. 


2. Enhance processing efficiency

The processing of liquid color is simpler, as they can be directly mixed with the plastic, reducing the processing time. This means that during extrusion or injection molding, the operational costs are lowered and energy consumption is decreased. 


3. Stronger color consistency

The liquid color is added through an automatic metering device, which ensures the accuracy of the addition and guarantees the color consistency between batches. This is particularly important for the packaging industry, enabling more stable and controllable color effects. 


4. Customization Flexibility

Customers can customize the intensity and transparency of the color, and even incorporate special effects such as metallic or pearlescent effects according to their needs. 






The application fields of liquid color 


Liquid color is widely used in a variety of plastic products, covering the following industries: 


Packaging industry: Liquid color is used in food, beverage and cosmetic packaging, providing uniform and stable colors, avoiding color differences and uneven particle distribution, and enhancing the uniformity of product appearance. 


Consumer electronics: Liquid color is widely used in the shells and plastic components of electronic products. Their high gloss and uniform color effect enhance the appearance of the products and increase the brand value. 


Cosmetics products: Liquid color provide precise and uniform colors for cosmetics products, enhancing the appearance and texture of the products. 


Medical industry: In medical devices and medical packaging, liquid color can also be used to enhance the color stability of the products. 


Textile industry: The application of liquid color in the textile industry, especially in the fields of plastic fibers and synthetic fibers, can ensure the even distribution of colors. 






Why choose liquid color


Professional application: Liquid color is highly suitable for companies that aim to enhance product quality and reduce manufacturing costs. Due to their excellent color dispersion properties, they provide a clear competitive advantage for high-performance and high-quality manufacturers. 


Reliable color performance: Liquid color provide enterprises with stable color performance, reducing product defects and lowering production losses. As the demand for high quality continues to increase, liquid color is becoming the preferred choice. 


High cost-effectiveness: Although the initial cost of liquid color may be higher than that of traditional color granules, the long-term benefits it offers in terms of efficiency, waste reduction, and improved product quality. 





With the continuous development of the plastic industry, liquid color have become an important tool for enhancing product quality, improving processing efficiency, and meeting modern sustainability requirements, enabling enterprises to maintain their competitive edge in the highly competitive market.
