Cabot Corporation, an industry leader in black masterbatch solutions, has announced the launch of PLASBLAK XP6801D black masterbatch, a unique styrene acrylonitrile (SAN)-based formulation that meets the needs of the styrenics market without the usual trade-off between color and mechanical properties.

PLASBLAK XP6801D black masterbatch enables excellent color performance, mechanical properties and UV resistance at a lower masterbatch concentration.

Cabot Corporation is one of the industry leaders in black masterbatch solutions.

Using PLASBLAK XP6801D black masterbatch, customers can:

• Achieve higher color without sacrificing impact properties

• Lower masterbatch loading in the final compound offering formulation flexibility to meet stricter customer performance requirements

• Deliver the same performance with up to 50% less material, reducing handling, transport logistics and associated transportation-related GHG emissions

“We are excited about this breakthrough solution for styrenics applications, which presents clear performance advantages by delivering differentiated technical performance with a lower masterbatch concentration,” said Santiague Pierre, global application lead, masterbatch and conductive compounds.

Cabot’s PLASBLAK masterbatches are formulated and manufactured to exacting standards to meet application- and polymer-specific needs across a wide range of industries, including automotive, agriculture, infrastructure, packaging and more.
