Masterbatch Manufacturing

Liquid masterbatch manufacturing is the art and science of pre-dispersing high loadings or concentrations of functional fillers, such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs), graphene, ceramic particles, or pigments, into a carrier matrix. These liquid or solid filler particle concentrates can then be diluted into final product formulations, making the incorporation of the materials easier and more efficient.  Typically, masterbatches offer exceptional dispersion, with reduced agglomerates, thus yielding superior performance.

However, not all masterbatches are created equal. Conventional mixing methods often fail when it comes to dispersing submicron and high-aspect-ratio particles, preserving filler morphology, or processing high-viscosity materials.

This is where ACI’s proprietary cavitation technology stands apart.  Using shear forces generated by the formation and implosive collapse of vapor bubbles at pressures up to 40,000 psi, our media-less dispersion process breaks apart agglomerates while preserving particle morphology, resulting in the uniform dispersion of micron- and sub-micron-sized materials into high viscosity liquid matrices.
