Agriculture and Plasticulture
In modern agriculture and plasticulture, Plasmix's masterbatches are essential for producing solid, useful, and effective plastic products that are suited to the particular requirements of these sectors. We can maximize the durability and performance of plastic products used in a variety of agricultural applications by integrating masterbatches.
Masterbatches are essential to the agricultural sector because they have a wide range of uses that boost efficiency, protection, and output. Here are a few significant uses for masterbatches in the agricultural sector
Mulch Films
Masterbatches are employed in the creation of mulch films, which are applied to the soil's surface to control soil temperature, prevent weed development, and preserve soil moisture. Mulch films frequently use black masterbatches with UV stabilization qualities to provide superior light-blocking capabilities and lengthen the film's longevity.
Our Product offerings for mulch films are :
| Masterbatches | Products Code | Description |
|---|---|---|
| WHITE | PM9120 | For Opacity , Temperature control & Light reflection for growth. |
| BLACK | PM3450 | For Temperature , weed control ,optimal weatherability & UV resistance. |
| SILVER | PM1205 | For reflecting UV-light, antimicrobial effect so as to repel insects & decrease the risk of viral diseases. Also it enhances sugar content & pigmentation in different types of fruit. |
| UV | PM3466 | To prevent degradation by sustaining the exposure of solar irradiation, thermal & moderate chemical / pesticide resistance. |
| ANTI-FOG | PM ANTI-FOG | To prevent drop formation at the film surface to increase soil temperature & accelerate the harvesting. |
| ANTI OXIDANT | PM3457 | To prevent premature degradation of the film due to heat. |
| PPA | PM3924 | To facilitate clearance of melt fracture, reduce the melt pressure , prevents die build up during processing and gives good gloss , smooth surface finish of the film substrate. |
Greenhouse Films
Masterbatches are employed in greenhouse films to give them several different capabilities. UV stabilizers can be introduced to increase crop yield by shielding plants from damaging UV light. It is possible to include light-diffusing masterbatches to improve light distribution, lessen shadows, and encourage uniform plant development. Water droplets won't fall onto crops thanks to anti-condensation masterbatches' ability to reduce condensation development on the film surface.
Our Product offerings for greenhouse films are :
| Masterbatches | Products Code | Description |
|---|---|---|
| UV | PM3466 | To protect & prevent premature degradation of the film, withstands extreme climate conditions. |
| ANTIFOG | PM ANTIFOG | To prevent water drops formation at the film surface to limit light loss, avoid crop damage due to sun burn effect and avert diseases due to wet plants. |
| ANTIOXIDANT | PM3457 | Could be used in combination with above to prevent oxidation and thermal degradation. Also prevents loss of mechanical properties. |
| PPA | PM3924 | To facilitate clearance of melt fracture, reduce the melt pressure , prevents die build up during processing and gives good gloss , smooth surface finish of the film substrate. |
Agricultural Packaging
Materials for agricultural packaging, such as bags, containers, and wraps, use masterbatches. They can give agricultural products coloration, branding, and UV stabilization qualities to safeguard them during storage and delivery. To avoid rotting and preserve the quality of harvested crops, anti-microbial or anti-fungal chemicals can also be added to masterbatches.
Our Product offerings for Agricultural Packaging are :
| Masterbatches | Products Code | Description |
|---|---|---|
| WHITE | PM9120 | With excellent opacity, dispersion & optimal weatherability. |
| BLACK | PM3450 | For jetness, UV resistance, stabilization & optimal weatherability. |
| GREEN | PM GREEN | for colouration in thin stretch films and thick silage films. |
| UV | PM3466 | To protect & prevent premature degradation of the film, withstands extreme climate conditions. |
| ANTIOXIDANT | PM3457 | Could be used in combination with above to prevent oxidation and thermal degradation. |
| PPA | PM3924 | To facilitate clearance of melt fracture, reduce the melt pressure , prevents die build up during processing and gives good gloss , smooth surface finish of the film substrate. |
Drip Irrigation Systems
The production of drip irrigation pipes and fittings use masterbatches. They may offer UV protection, avoiding sun-induced pipe deterioration. Anti-microbial masterbatches can also be added to irrigation systems to prevent the growth of bacteria and algae, ensuring effective water delivery and lowering the possibility of blockage.
Our Product offerings for Drip Irrigation Systems are :
| Masterbatches | Products Code | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Black | PM3451 | With fine parcle size of carbon, jetness, dispersion, gloss & free from fillers . It has excellent weathering , thermal resistance, suitable under IS : 9833 specifications . |
| PPA | PM3924 | Helps to Improve drip pipes surface quality, increase surface gloss, reduce the melt pressure, increase product quality & production efficiency. |
Shade Nets
The functionality and sustainability of shade nets in the agricultural and horticultural industries have been transformed by masterbatch technology. Masterbatch improves the protective properties of shade nets by adding UV stabilizers, light diffusers, and other chemicals, resulting in higher crop yields, greater plant growth, and longer product lifespans. Masterbatch-infused shade nets are an important instrument in promoting sustainable farming and horticultural practices for a greener future due to the eco-friendly benefits of optimal material usage.
Our Product offerings for Shade Nets are :
| Masterbatches | Products Code | Description |
|---|---|---|
| UV | PM3466 | To prevent premature degradation of greenhouse films due to UV light and pesticides |
| White | PM9120 | With good opacity , dispersion & optimal weatherability. |
| Black | PM3450 | With UV resistance, stabilization & optimal weatherability. |
| COLOUR GREEN,RED | PMGREEN,PMRED | With high pigment concentration to get the desire colour strength, intensity and shade of the shade net. |
| PPA | PM3924 | Helps to Improve product surface quality, increase surface gloss, reduce the melt pressure, increase product quality & production efficiency |
