‘Our mission is to provide tailored solutions that meet the evolving demands of the plastics industry,’ says Riccardo di Blasio, lab manager at Ferro-PCS. ‘We focus on developing masterbatches that not only impart vibrant colours but also enhance the material properties essential for modern packaging applications.’
One of Ferro-PCS’s notable advancements lies in its micro granule masterbatch technology. These formulations offer superior dispersion and faster colour changes, significantly improving processing efficiency. Particularly in PET applications, Ferro-PCS’s micro granule masterbatches have become instrumental in delivering consistent coloration while enhancing UV resistance and thermal stability. This innovation is crucial for products requiring prolonged shelf life and exposure to varying environmental conditions.
In response to the growing demand for sustainable packaging, Ferro-PCS has developed biodegradable masterbatches using polylactic acid (PLA) as a carrier. These masterbatches are designed to meet the stringent requirements of compostable packaging, ensuring that the end products are both environmentally friendly and functionally robust. By carefully selecting pigments and additives that comply with global standards, Ferro-PCS ensures that its biodegradable solutions do not compromise on performance or safety.
Moreover, Ferro-PCS’s commitment to customisation allows it to cater to specific customers’ needs across various polymers, including polyolefins, PVC and engineering plastics. Its comprehensive range of additives – ranging from UV stabilisers to antimicrobial agents – further enhances the functionality of packaging materials, addressing concerns such as product preservation and user safety.
As the packaging industry continues to evolve, Ferro-PCS remains at the forefront, blending scientific precision with creative innovation. Its dedication to developing masterbatches that meet the highest standards of quality and sustainability positions it as a trusted partner for manufacturers seeking to navigate the complexities of modern packaging requirements.
