Q1: What is the primary function of Cabot PE2813 FDA Masterbatch in polyolefin applications?
A: Cabot PE2813 FDA Masterbatch is a carbon black–based concentrate engineered to provide consistent black coloration and UV stabilization in polyethylene and polypropylene compounds intended for food-contact applications. It is formulated to meet U.S. FDA requirements for indirect food contact under 21 CFR §178.3297.
Q2: Is Cabot PE2813 FDA Masterbatch suitable for use in both blown film and injection-molded food packaging?
A: Yes — it is designed for broad processability across common polyolefin conversion methods, including blown film, extrusion coating, injection molding, and blow molding. Its dispersion characteristics and thermal stability support consistent performance during high-speed processing without plate-out or die buildup.
Q3: How should this masterbatch be incorporated into a base polymer?
A: Cabot PE2813 FDA Masterbatch is typically used at low concentrations and introduced via gravimetric or volumetric feeding alongside the base resin. Dosage depends on formulation requirements but generally ranges from 0.1% to 2% by weight to achieve target blackness and UV protection while maintaining regulatory compliance.
Q4: Does this masterbatch contain any heavy metals or restricted substances?
A: No — Cabot PE2813 FDA Masterbatch is manufactured without intentionally added heavy metals, phthalates, or other substances prohibited under current FDA food-contact guidelines. Raw materials are selected and controlled to support compliance with applicable U.S. regulatory expectations for indirect food contact.
