About FLYBATCH
FLYBATCH masterbatches are matched to the customer’s polymer, pigment load and granule size. The PVC micro-granulate melts early in the extruder or hot mixer, so it distributes without streaks even at high line speeds and low dosing.
Typical properties of the range
| Property | Typical value | Method |
|---|---|---|
| Pigment content | 10–75 % | Ash / formulation |
| Granule size | Micro 0.5–1.0 mm; standard 2–3 mm cylinders | Sieve |
| Moisture | ≤ 0.1 % | Loss on drying |
| Dosing | 1–4 % (let-down 1:25 to 1:100) | — |
| Shade | ΔE ≤ 1.0 at the stated let-down | CIELAB, D65/10° |
