The color performance of many plastics on its own is satisfactory, but on the shelves they all seem to be “not bright enough.” Particularly in industries like packaging, domestic goods, office supplies and toys, similar white, yellow, or colored materials will be perceived as one being brilliant and shiny while the other being gray, dull and not having any visual appeal at all.
While many manufacturers use additional titanium dioxide or increase pigment loading, the results might actually be very disappointing, and even lead to increased costs or negative impacts on performance and flowability.
According to our experience, it is not only about the color per se; it is also about how effective is the utilization of visible light by the material. That is why more and more manufacturers use Optical Brightener Masterbatch or Fluorescent Color Masterbatch to improve the product.

Fluorescent Masterbatch (Fluorescent Masterbatch) is a kind of functional masterbatch where a highly concentrated fluorescent pigment or an optical brightening system is dispersed evenly within a resin matrix. It is often referred to as Optical Brightener Masterbatch, Fluorescent Color Masterbatch, or Daylight Fluorescent Masterbatch.
In addition to simply “changing the color of plastic,” its primary purpose is to increase visual brightness and whiteness and thus make the products look more vivid under daylight.
According to our experience, the good quality Fluorescent Masterbatch must have the following qualities:
One of the most widely used applications of Fluorescent Masterbatch is in the packaging industry, where it is used in products such as shopping bags, express packages, food packages, label films, and chemical packages.
Fluorescent masterbatch will help increase the attractiveness of products since the color of the packaging becomes more appealing. In processes like high speed blown film, casting, and printing, the high dispersion system of fluorescent masterbatch helps to prevent problems such as gels and color spots.

The items like toys, display boards, advertising boards, warning products and sports goods commonly employ Daylight Fluorescent Masterbatch. They demand high light reflectivity, high visibility and colorful effects. In our experience of practical application of high quality fluorescent masterbatch, we have found that it not only has great visual effect but is also stable for processing purposes.
General color masterbatch offers coloring only, whereas Fluorescent Masterbatch makes use of fluorescent pigment to increase the material’s efficiency of using light energy, resulting in brighter, vivid appearance.
Top quality Fluorescent Masterbatch will have very little effect on processibility. The proper carrier resin and dispersion system make Fluorescent Masterbatch processible in blown film, injection moulding, extrusion, sheet applications, etc.
Fluorescent Pigments have widely different heat resistance values varying from 180 to 300. We can supply you with formulations of various heat resistance levels for different resins such as PP, PE, ABS, PS, and PET.
Generally speaking, most Fluorescent Pigment Masterbatch is suitable for indoor use or short-time use outdoors. For long-time use outdoors, we suggest using it along with UV Masterbatch or a weatherproof system to increase the time of color keeping.
The normal addition ratio is 0.5%-3%. The ratio depends on the targeted color, product thickness, resin type, and brightness requirement.
Yes. We can offer custom Fluorescent Masterbatch products based on customer’s resin system (PP, PE, ABS, PS, PET, etc.), processing method, heat resistance requirement, and targeted color.
Depending on different applications, we can offer:
