Black Masterbatch
Carbon black based colour concentrate for pigmenting plastics black, supplied to processors across India.
Overview
What it is and where it fits.
Black masterbatch is a concentrated dispersion of carbon black pigment in a carrier polymer, added during processing so the finished part is uniformly black. Using a masterbatch instead of loose pigment keeps handling clean and dispersion consistent.
Carbon black also absorbs ultraviolet light, which is why black plastics are commonly selected for products used outdoors or exposed to sunlight over long periods.
We select and supply a suitable option based on your polymer, process and the depth of black you need to achieve.
Typical applications
Common areas of use.
Film and packaging
Black films and liners where opacity and a consistent finish are required.
Injection moulding
Moulded components where an even black finish across parts matters.
Pipes and conduits
Extruded profiles and pipes, commonly specified in black for outdoor use.
Blow moulding
Containers and hollow parts requiring an opaque black wall.
Woven sacks and raffia
Tapes and woven products where colour consistency runs through long batches.
General plastic processing
Any application where a black shade is needed from a natural polymer feed.

Questions
Frequently asked.
- What is black masterbatch?
- Black masterbatch is a concentrated blend of carbon black pigment in a carrier polymer. It is added to natural polymer during processing so the finished part is coloured black without handling loose pigment powder.
- Why is black masterbatch used for outdoor products?
- Carbon black absorbs ultraviolet light, so black-pigmented plastics are widely used where products are exposed to sunlight. The level of protection depends on the grade and dosage chosen for the application.
- Which polymers can it be used with?
- Carrier selection depends on your base polymer. Share the polymer and process you run and we will recommend a suitable option.
- Do you supply across India?
- Yes. THAKUR INDUSTRIES is based in Nagpur, Maharashtra and supplies customers across India.
