What’s new in masterbatching?

Maintaining a high level of control over MBSA’s numerous systems and inherent production variables is a framework upon which critical layers of technology have been built. This real-time ‘manufacturing intelligence’ allows a highly-efficient and flexible manufacturing capability, providing consistent quality.

‘We use an innovative inventory management system that enhances our traceability function,’ Anthony continues. ‘This is actively used in our quality assurance systems allowing us to trace all raw materials throughout the system, from receipt to finished product, utilising electronic data management on a bag-by-bag visibility basis.’

Masterbatch provides the plastics industry with an efficient, reliable and cost-effective way of adding colour, special effects and/or performance enhancements to plastic products; and MBSA delivers an extensive range of masterbatch solutions, including a broad spectrum of additives such as anti-block, antioxidant, anti-static, flame retardants, slip additives, corrosion inhibitors, anti-fog, processing aids and UV stabilisers, as well as specialised laser marking, antimicrobials, thermochromic and desiccant additives.

MBSA’s laboratory and technical support team effectively delivers tailor-made, customer-specific solutions including colour matching, product engineering and processing.

MBSA maintains the highest industry standards by holding ISO 9001:2008; 14001:2004; 22000:2005 and OHSAS 18001:2007 certifications for quality, environmental, food safety, and health & safety management systems. A ‘wine glass & fork’ symbol displayed on MBSA’s advanced product labels provide assurance that products are heavy-metal free and can be used for direct food contact packaging.
