Rainbow Filament for PLA Filament Buyers: White Masterbatch Applications
White masterbatch complements 3D printing filament in B2B procurement. For buyers needing white colorants for injection molding alongside filament, understanding specifications creates procurement efficiency.
White Masterbatch Specifications
Universal White for PE/PP: 70% TiO2, 2-4% let-down, L* 96.5 on PP, yellow index below 2.0. Clean white. Stable to 230 C. No streaking or plate-out.
TiO2 Grade and Performance
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| TiO2 | 70% |
| Let-down | 2-4% |
| L* | 96.5 |
| Yellow Index | Below 2.0 |
| Max Temp | 230 C |
White Filament vs White Masterbatch
Filament: PLA-specific colorants for extrusion. Masterbatch: TiO2 in PE/PP for injection molding. Different applications. Our color lab ensures consistent white across both.
Cost Advantages of 70% TiO2
Higher loading = lower let-down (2-4% vs 4-6%). Lower cost per part. Single masterbatch for PE and PP. Fewer SKUs.
Packaging and Shipping
25 kg kraft bags with PE liner. Palletized. MOQ 2 tons. 10-12 days. FOB/CIF. Combined shipping with filament.
Quality Control
TiO2 content, MFI, moisture, colorimetric per batch. Test plaques on PP. COA included. Samples 24 months. No streaking verified through molding trials.
Application in Filament Buyer Context
Filament distributors also supplying molders: masterbatch complements range. Molded parts and printed prototypes share consistent white. Single supplier simplifies procurement and compliance.
FAQ
TiO2 loading?
70%. Higher than typical 50-60%. 2-4% let-down. Lower cost per part.
Brightness?
L* 96.5 on PP. Yellow index below 2.0. Clean white.
Masterbatch in filament?
No. PE/PP injection molding. Filament uses PLA colorants.
Let-down ratio?
2-4%. Lower than 50-60% masterbatches. Cost savings.
MOQ and packaging?
2 tons. 25 kg bags. Palletized. 10-12 days. FOB/CIF. Combined with filament.
Works PE and PP?
Yes. Single masterbatch. Fewer SKUs. Stable to 230 C.
Quality docs?
COA: TiO2, MFI, moisture, colorimetric. PP test plaques. Samples 24 months.
70% TiO2 advantage?
Lower let-down, lower cost per part, single SKU for PE/PP.
