Taking Masterbatch to Another Level
In the cable industry, the rule usually dictates that the dosage of masterbatch in plastic insulation is kept at around 2%. However, Delta Tecnic has managed to reduce this amount by half without compromising quality, enabling manufacturers to cut costs by up to 30% and improve the sustainability of their processes. This innovation marks a turning point in the way cable manufacturers approach efficiency and resource optimization in their production.
The plastic insulation of a cable is composed of 98% polymer and 2% masterbatch, which is the colorant that gives it its characteristic shade. The key to Delta Tecnic’s breakthrough lies in optimizing the pigment concentration within the masterbatches for cables, making it possible to reduce the amount used without affecting the homogenization of the final color.
