Tosaf Colour Service now offers a brand-new masterbatch carrier system. The masterbatch carrier system from Tosaf Colour Service is said to be globally adjustable and compliant with all standard food contact requirements. These include the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Food Safety Law of China, the German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR) guidelines, and numerous more complex regulatory standards.
Tosaf asserts that functioning masterbatches based on this carrier system, in any color when appropriate, can be utilized across continents without the need for any relevant applications, ranging from parts for machinery and equipment used in the food processing industry to toys and home products.
Because the structure of the new carrier system is so similar to that of the brand's old standard, it is equally compatible with the thermoplastics utilized in these applications. It also possesses almost the same mechanical and processing properties, including good appropriateness for even materials that are scarce and dispersible. All initial carrier system testing, conducted both internally and at Kunststoff-Institut Lüdenscheid, as well as pilot masterbatch applications at clients, have verified this. The main distinction is that it is free of potentially dangerous chemicals that could contaminate food.
Major players in the middle east & Africa color masterbatch market, including Clariant AG, Ampacet Corporation, A.Schulman, Inc., PolyOne Corporation, Cabot Corporation, Plastika Kritis S.A, Plastiblends India Ltd, Hubron International, Tosaf Group, Penn Color, Inc., LyondellBasell Industries Holdings B.V, Ferro Corporation, Astra Polymers and others, are attempting to increase market demand by investing in research and development operations.
