About Us

Sidh Masterbatches (P) Ltd. was established in the year 1999. The company produces white, colour and black masterbatches used for colouring all thermoplastic polymers, (both commodity & engineering) in blown & cast films, sheet extrusions, injection & blow mouldings. Within a short period of eight years, it has established itself firmly as a reliable source of masterbatches for many MNCs and large scale Indian plastic processing companies. The company is today recognized by its customers for -

• A responsive and dependable service
• Consistent product quality
• Quick and accurate developments of new masterbatches
• Competitive advantages.

Manufacturing Facilities

The company operates from two locations, having a plant area of 25,000 sq. ft.- one is for black masterbatches and the other for white, colour & additive masterbatches. The plant is equipped with the best machinery that guarantees top quality products having the flexibility to cater to quick colour changes. The current annual installed capacity at our unit is around 3000 metric tonnes.

Quality Assurance

We are an ISO 9001:2000 certified company, certified by BSI Management System. Our specialists adhere to strict quality procedures at every stage of colour development and production to ensure high quality colour masterbatches as per specific customer requirements. Rigorous quality tests of all the raw materials and regular checks at every stage of production ensure consistency and reliability for all the application needs. A quality assurance certificate and spectrometer colour report can be provided with every lot on demand. Our laboratories are equipped with spectrometer and other equipments for critical tests along with lab model I.M. machine, blow film line and two roll mills.

• Colour Development: New colour development is done for any polymer/application on the same day with pilot supply for sampling followed by bulk supply immediately, thereafter on demand. There are more than 1000 ready colours to choose from, which are available in standard packing of 25 kgs.
• Technical Advisory Services: Our plastic technologists work at operational and executive levels for faster and effective solutions to colouring and customer related problems. Our customer service personnel are trained at the plant to analyze new products and understand various processes which helps in trouble–shooting at the customer's plant.

People

A dedicated team of professionals, including plastic technologists and engineers; manages the plant at all levels. The management and employees jointly operate not only as a supplier of raw materials but also as a value partner to the producer of the end products. This enables an active contribution made towards problem solving, cost–effectiveness, development of new products and sharing new developments.

Industries Served

• Blown & Cast Films
• Injection Moulding
• Blow Moulding
• Sheet Extrusion
• Wires & Cables
• Pipes & Profiles
• Rotomoulding.

• Black Masterbatches: We have a versatile range of carbon black masterbatches based upon furnace blacks with a particular size of 30 to 60 microns. Our products provide economical colouring & improve the U.V. stability & weathering properties in polyolofin applications. We offer a wide range of economy series to special blacks covering applications like ducts & water pipes, rotomoulding, films down to 20 microns, injection mouldings & compounding. The carbon loading percentage ranges from 25% to 50% and has good dispersion in the polymer base. For maximum U.V. protection, the final product should contain 2.5% of carbon black and accordingly, the let down ratio depending on the percentage of carbon black.
• Colour Masterbatches: We produce polymer specific masterbatches designed as per the end product requirement. Proper care is taken in the selection of pigments, carrier resins & other additives. In case of pigments & dyes; factors like light fastness, heat stability, migrating properties, and toxicity are taken into account. Also compliance with various regulations desired by the customer are adhered to as well as the processability, flow properties, tinting strength & perfect dispersions are taken care of.
• White Masterbatches: White masterbatches are the concentrates of titanium dioxide (TIO2) in a polymer carrier. They have perfect dispersion and optimized flow properties resulting to maximum hiding power and easy processing. TIO2 used is RUTILE COATED type, which ensures high opacity, colouring strength, dispersibility and excellent U.V. stability. Certain types contain as filler in form of a fine calcium carbonate that provides economy as well as technical benefits in many applications, especially in injection & blow mouldings. For relatively thick films (40-200 microns), the most suitable masterbatches contain 40-60% of TIO2. For thin films, masterbatches with high content of TIO2 and having the best possible dispersion are preferable. There are certain specially designed grades with additives like anti-stat (for PP thermoformed items), slip (most suitable for LDPE), PPA to reduce die build up, melt fracture & surface defects of U.V. stabilizers. For HIPs, PS based masterbatches are recommended to ensure better dispersion & homogenization than PE based masterbatches, which do not affect the mechanical properties.
