Single Pigment Concentrates
One pigment per grade, at up to 70% loading, for masterbatch and compound producers who build their own shades.
What is a single pigment concentrate?
A single pigment concentrate is one pigment, fully dispersed at a high loading in a polymer carrier and cut into granules. Masterbatch and compound producers use it in place of powder pigment to build and correct shades in-house.
Granules are dust-free, so the plant stays clean and nothing is lost in handling. The pigment is already dispersed, so shades come out stronger and more even, with fewer specks. And dosing granules is more accurate than weighing fine powder, so shades repeat from batch to batch.

Heat resistance, lightfastness (blue wool scale, 8 = best) and weather fastness (grey scale, 5 = best) are typical values for the pigment in polyolefins and depend on the pigment grade, concentration and polymer. * Contains lead and chromium: not for food contact or toys, and restricted in some markets.

Frequently asked questions
What is a single pigment concentrate?
A masterbatch that carries only one pigment, at a high loading, in a polymer carrier. Masterbatch and compound producers use it in place of powder pigment to build and correct shades in-house, without the dust and with more accurate dosing.
What pigment content can you supply?
Up to 70% for chrome yellow (Pigment Yellow 34) and molybdate red (Pigment Red 104), 60% for ultramarine blue and iron oxide black, 40% for most organic pigments and 25% for Violet 23. These are the maximum loadings; any lower concentration is available.
Which carrier do you use?
LLDPE as standard, which suits most polyolefin masterbatch and compounds. PP and other carriers are made on request.
Can you make a pigment that isn't on the list?
Yes. The list shows our standard range. Tell us the Colour Index name and the concentration you need, and we'll confirm.
Are the heat, light and weather values guaranteed?
No. They are typical values for each pigment in polyolefins and depend on the pigment grade, concentration and polymer. Always test in your own application.
Do you supply samples?
Yes. Tell us which pigments and concentrations you need and we'll send samples with the datasheet.
