This product is designed to replace conventional carbon-black-based black colorants, enabling finished plastic parts to remain detectable by the near-infrared (NIR) optical sorting systems used in recycling facilities. By minimizing the absorption of NIR radiation, the material allows automated sorting equipment to accurately identify, classify, and separate plastic waste streams, thereby facilitating efficient and reliable recycling.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>\u201c<i>Fresh Black\u201d<\/i><\/strong>: a black masterbatch that reflects part of the sun's radiation instead of absorbing it. The finished part stays cooler as a result.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Compounds<\/strong> containing by-products from oat, rice and olive processing, as well as Italian wood flour, together with masterbatches designed to colour them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We also encourage companies to work with us on masterbatches that allow <strong>in-house reuse of industrial scrap<\/strong> from their own processes.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_button_module_wrapper et_pb_button_1_wrapper\"><a class=\"et_pb_button_1 et_pb_button et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\" href=\"https:\/\/lamasteritaliana.it\/contatti\/\" data-icon=\"$\">Contact us to find out more<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_section_5 et_pb_section et_section_regular et_flex_section\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_row_10 et_pb_row et_flex_row\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_column_17 et_pb_column et-last-child et_flex_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough et_animated et_flex_column_24_24 et_flex_column_24_24_tablet et_flex_column_24_24_phone\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_11 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h3>FAQ<\/h3>\n<h2>Frequently asked questions about masterbatches<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_divider_2 et_pb_divider et_pb_space et_pb_divider_position_top et_pb_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_divider_internal\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_accordion_0 et_pb_accordion et_pb_module et_flex_module\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_accordion_item_0 et_pb_accordion_item et_pb_toggle et_pb_module et_pb_toggle_open et_flex_module\"><h5 class=\"et_pb_toggle_title\">What types of masterbatch do we offer?<\/h5><div class=\"et_pb_toggle_content et_flex_module\"><p>They differ mainly by carrier polymer, intended production use and the kind of pigments they contain.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to colouring plastics, there are two families of pigment. Organic pigments are bright but less heat-resistant. Inorganic pigments are opaque and stable to light and heat. There are also special-effect masterbatches that use metallic, pearlescent, fluorescent or phosphorescent colourants.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_accordion_item_1 et_pb_accordion_item et_pb_toggle et_pb_module et_pb_toggle_close et_flex_module\"><h5 class=\"et_pb_toggle_title\">What are special-effect masterbatches?<\/h5><div class=\"et_pb_toggle_content et_flex_module\"><p>Masterbatches can do more than add colour. They can also give plastics a special finish.<\/p>\n<p>Metallic and mother-of-pearl effects are both possible. Other options include glitter or sequin effects with shiny particles, photoluminescent effects (they absorb sunlight and release it slowly in the dark), colour-shifting effects (the shade changes with the angle of the light) and fluorescent colours.<\/p>\n<p>Each effect is designed with a specific end use in mind. La Master Italiana Srl specialises in special-effect masterbatches for cosmetics, toys, synthetic fibres and more.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_accordion_item_2 et_pb_accordion_item et_pb_toggle et_pb_module et_pb_toggle_close et_flex_module\"><h5 class=\"et_pb_toggle_title\">Which sectors do we produce masterbatches for?<\/h5><div class=\"et_pb_toggle_content et_flex_module\"><p>We serve every sector, including fashion, footwear, cosmetics, food, toys, medical, packaging, textiles, construction, 3D printing, rotational moulding, agriculture, livestock, defence, diving, boating, automotive, sport, aerospace, components, design, art, eyewear and more.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_accordion_item_3 et_pb_accordion_item et_pb_toggle et_pb_module et_pb_toggle_close et_flex_module\"><h5 class=\"et_pb_toggle_title\">What type of extruders do we use?<\/h5><div class=\"et_pb_toggle_content et_flex_module\"><p>Our machines are <strong>co-rotating twin-screw extruders<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The screws are designed to maximise mixing inside the extruder barrel.
