iD's One Pellet Solution:
Most
processors are using several additives procured from various
sources. iD can analyze your additives needs and make one convenient
concentrate to accomplish the functions of two or more additives.
The advantages of using a masterbatch additive concentrates
are shown below:
- Fewer blending compartments
- Less chance for improper dosing
- Better dispersion of low concentration additives
- Cleaner
- Lower cost
