Masterbatch based on post-consumer recyclate
Beverage cartons consist of complex composite materials containing paper fibres, plastics and aluminium. Recycling these materials efficiently has long been a challenge. Thanks to the innovative technologies of our partner company Saperatec GmbH, the various components can now be successfully separated and recycled. Saperatec uses a unique water-based separating liquid that enables the layers of these composite materials to be separated efficiently. This allows high-quality raw materials such as polyethylene (PE) to be recovered, which is then used for new products.
The polyethylene (PE) recycled from beverage cartons is based on post-consumer recyclate (PCR) and is processed into black masterbatches in combination with carbon black pigments. These masterbatches impress with their colour intensity, excellent processing properties and are specially optimised for injection moulding applications.

Colour and function for PCR plastics through masterbatches
In order to guarantee the functionality and versatility of PCR plastics, it is essential to maintain their material properties. As the basic colours of PCR recyclates often vary, a masterbatch enables precise and uniform colouring. The challenge with black colouring in particular is not to impair the mechanical properties despite the use of carbon black.
The newly developed masterbatch formulation from the AF-Carbon® product family optimally combines these requirements. It is based on a carrier material made from recycled polyethylene (PE) and high-quality carbon black, which ensures excellent dispersion.
Carrier base: PCR polyethylene (LDPE)
Recommended dosage: 1-2 %
Application: Injection moulding
