Color Masterbatches
Colour masterbatches are concentrated pigment dispersions in a carrier resin, supplied as pellets and let down into a base polymer during moulding or extrusion to colour the final article. They give converters consistent, reproducible colour without the dust, dispersion, and safety issues of handling raw pigments, and are used across films, bottles, caps and closures, fibres, pipes, and injection-moulded goods.
Grades are framed by colour type (standard or custom-matched to a Pantone or RAL reference), pigment chemistry (organic vs inorganic, opacity and tinting strength), carrier resin (PE, PP, PS, ABS, PET, or universal carriers chosen for compatibility with the base polymer), and recommended let-down ratio (commonly around 1-5%). White and black masterbatches are framed by TiO2 and carbon-black loading respectively. Buyers also specify heat and light stability, food-contact suitability, and migration behaviour.
Packaging is generally 25 kg bags, cartons, or FIBC for bulk; storage parameters appear as specification notes on the technical data sheet.
For EU import, REACH framing for pigments, food-contact declarations referenced to EU 10/2011 and heavy-metal limits (e.g. EN 71-3 framing for toys where relevant), RoHS, and SDS are coordinated where required; SABER/SASO routing is arranged for Saudi Arabia. HS code is provided on documentation.
Himalay's verified manufacturer and exporter partners supply colour masterbatches with CoA per batch, SDS, food-contact and heavy-metal declarations coordinated where required, REACH/CLP compliance for EU, GHS labelling, and SABER for Saudi Arabia handled as part of the standard order flow.
