Color Concentrate/Master batch

Unlock a Universe of Custom Colors with ABC3D

Introducing a groundbreaking innovation in Canada! Unleash your creativity with ABC3D’s Color Concentrate for 3D Printing, the ultimate solution for hobbyists, businesses, and industrial users. Our masterbatch is a high-quality solid additive designed specifically for coloring plastics. As a result, it not only imparts vibrant hues but can also enhance the properties of the host material, giving you superior results every time.

Precision-Engineered for Flawless Extrusion

ABC3D’s Color Concentrate stands out because it is meticulously crafted for easy and homogenous integration during the filament extrusion process. We understand that material compatibility is crucial; therefore, we offer our masterbatch for today’s most popular filaments, including versatile PLA, durable ABS, and resilient PETg. Furthermore, if our wide range of stock options doesn’t perfectly match your vision, we provide custom color and material services tailored to your exact specifications.

Complete Control Over Your Color Palette

With a recommended mix ratio of 25:1 (4% concentration), our color concentrate for 3D printing provides exceptional flexibility in achieving your desired color saturation. The final richness of the color will naturally vary based on the opacity and natural shade of your chosen base resin. For instance, you can easily adjust the quantity of colorant to achieve darker, more saturated shades or lighter, more subtle tones. This gives you complete artistic control over your final creations. However, please note that while we reference them for guidance, Pantone color chips are for reference only, as colors will vary depending on the base resin and mix ratio you choose.

Revolutionize your 3D printing experience with ABC3D’s Color Concentrate – the perfect fusion of Canadian innovation and creative versatility. Contact us today and explore a vibrant spectrum of possibilities.

Important Notes:

1. This masterbatch is only compatible with its designated resin type (e.g., PLA masterbatch for PLA resin).
2. Always dry the masterbatch thoroughly before use to ensure optimal performance and prevent extrusion issues.

Instructions for Use:

1. Dry the Masterbatch:
   • PLA: 55°C for 4 – 6 hours
   • PETg: 70°C for 4 – 6 hours
   • ABS: 83°C for 4 – 6 hours
2. Mix the Resin: Let down (mix) the masterbatch into your natural base resin at a 25:1 ratio (4% masterbatch by weight).
3. Ensure Homogeneity: Thoroughly mix the masterbatch pellets into the natural resin to ensure an even, consistent distribution. Subsequently, process the material as you normally would in your filament extruder.
