TPU Masterbatch Service
STANDARD's TPU masterbatch is made of carrier resin TPU, color powder or pre-dispersion and additives.
STANDARD masterbatch supports 100% customization to meet the various needs of customers to the greatest extent.
Different from traditional general masterbatches, each formula of our TPU masterbatches corresponds to different colors.
Customers can directly add TPU masterbatch according to the recommended ratios without adjust the color again.
STANDARD TPU masterbatches can ensure the high efficiency of customers' TPU products. Especially high shading black, white, and various colors.
Different Types of TPU
TPU can be classified in two ways. First is by the chemical structure of the soft segment, that's the softer part of the molecular chain. The common ones are polyester TPU, polyether TPU, see the table below for details. Second way is by the chemical structure of the hard segment, which can be aromatic or aliphatic.
Classification by Soft Segment (decides core performance)
| Type | Main Advantage | Main Weakness | Typical Applications |
|---|---|---|---|
| Polyester TPU | High mechanical strength, wear-resistant, oil-resistant | Poor hydrolysis resistance, degrades easily in humid environment | Conveyor belts |
| Polyether TPU | Good hydrolysis resistance, mold-resistant, low temp performance | Poor oil resistance | Fire hoses |
| Polycaprolactone TPU | Balanced hydrolysis & wear resistance, good overall performance | Expensive | High-end oil seals |
| Polycarbonate TPU | Excellent weathering, high transparency, UV & aging resistant | Very expensive, less commercial use | Display protection films |
Classification by Hard Segment (decides weathering & cost)
This mainly affects yellowing resistance and cost:
Aromatic TPU: Hard segment has benzene rings. Cheaper, strong mechanically, but benzene rings easily oxidize under UV, cause fast yellowing, not good for outdoor or transparent stuff.
Aliphatic TPU: Hard segment has no benzene rings. Excellent UV & yellowing resistance, high transparency. But more expensive, hardness and heat resistance slightly lower than aromatic TPU.

Standard Polymer TPU Masterbatch Types
Color Masterbatch
Gives rich, bright, even color. Sometimes involves sub-masterbatch for more delicate color, usually for high transparency or glossy TPU products.
Functional Masterbatch
Gives TPU extra properties, for example:
- Anti-yellowing: improve UV resistance, prevent yellowing
- Slip/Soft-touch: reduce friction, better hand feel
- Foaming: used for TPU foam materials
Why STANDARD TPU Masterbatch
High Dispersion
Excellent dispersion properties for uniform color distribution
High-Speed Production
Meet the requirements of high-speed production of 20-30UM wire blown film
Color Stability
Highly stable color in different batches
High Coverage
High coverage, meet the requirements of few crystal points
Comply with FDA, ROHS, REACH, various food regulations, etc.
Key Steps to Buy TPU Masterbatch
To make procurement smooth, you can follow these steps:
- Ask your tech team for base resin info, best if TDS available.
- Confirm TPU type: aromatic or aliphatic?
- Confirm process: injection, extrusion, blow molding, cast, etc. Different processes need different thermal stability & dispersion from masterbatch.
- Color: custom? high transparency or gloss?
- Any special function needed? UV resistant, slip, hydrolysis resistance?
- If for medical or food contact, can masterbatch pass FDA, ROHS etc.?
- Clarify key quality requirements: weathering life, color difference (ΔE), etc.
- Set budget and planned quantity.
- Set expectations for supplier support, quality stability, supply ability.
Example of Ideal Choice
Suppose my company wants to make blue TPU film for outdoor use.
Requirement analysis: High opacity, yellowing resistance (UV outdoor), maybe some slip.
Base choice: Prefer aliphatic TPU (good yellowing resistance, high transparency) or polycarbonate TPU (excellent weathering, high transparency).
Masterbatch choice:
- Color: high concentration & high dispersion color masterbatch compatible with aliphatic TPU.
- Function: add UV anti-yellowing & slip masterbatch (check COF).
Supplier communication: clearly explain outdoor, transparent use; request physical property sheet & COA.
