Riviera Polymers Private Limited was envisaged in 1982. The organization had to become a mark to reckon with in the manufacture of Colour and Additive Concentrates and Special Thermoplastic Compounds. Two decades on, we are living as Brand Riviera and remain the front-runner manufacturer of high-quality Masterbatches and Specialty Thermoplastic Compounds in India.

Universal Masterbatch: One Solution, Many Polymers
In plastic manufacturing, choosing the right masterbatch often means selecting one that matches the base resin perfectly. However, when multiple types of polymers are processed or when flexibility across resin families is needed, managing different masterbatches can become costly and inefficient. That’s where Universal Masterbatch comes in.
Designed for broad compatibility across multiple polymers, Universal Masterbatch simplifies production, reduces inventory complexity, and increases manufacturing agility—without compromising on color, dispersion, or performance.
In this article, we explore what Universal Masterbatch is, how it works, its benefits, and why it’s a preferred choice for multi-resin production environments.
What is Universal Masterbatch?
Universal Masterbatch is a color or additive concentrate formulated using a carrier system that is compatible with a wide range of polymers. Unlike conventional masterbatches that are designed for specific base resins (like PE, PP, or PS), universal masterbatches are engineered to perform consistently across various thermoplastics.
Compatible Polymers
Universal masterbatch is typically compatible with:
- Polyethylene (PE: LDPE, LLDPE, HDPE)
- Polypropylene (PP)
- Polystyrene (PS, HIPS)
- Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS)
- Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPE, TPU)
- Polycarbonate (PC)
- Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA)
Certain grades may even extend compatibility to:
- Polyamide (PA6, PA66)
- PET
- SAN
How It Works
The universal masterbatch uses a carefully selected polymer carrier system, often a blend or a neutral carrier, which exhibits partial or full miscibility with a variety of thermoplastics. This allows the pigment or additive to disperse effectively in different resins during processing.
When added at the appropriate dosage (typically 1–5%), it offers:
- Uniform coloration
- Stable additive performance
- Good dispersion and processing behavior
Packaging & Storage
- Supplied in 25 kg laminated moisture-proof bags
- Store in dry, shaded areas
- Avoid direct sunlight and humidity
- Shelf life: 12 months under proper storage conditions
Conclusion
Universal Masterbatch is the smart, flexible solution for manufacturers working with multiple polymer types or recycled material blends. It reduces complexity, improves production efficiency, and enables consistent quality—regardless of your base resin.
Whether you’re a compounder, recycler, or high-mix manufacturer, universal masterbatch helps you simplify operations without compromising on performance or aesthetics.

What is a Universal Masterbatch?
A color or additive masterbatch designed to be compatible with multiple polymer types.
Which polymers is it compatible with?
PE, PP, PS, ABS, EVA, TPE, and more—depending on the formulation.
Is it suitable for food contact applications?
Yes, food-grade variants are available upon request.
What is the typical dosage?
Between 1% to 5% depending on the base polymer and desired effect.
Does it affect mechanical properties?
No, when used at recommended levels, it does not compromise physical performance.
Can I use it in transparent products?
Transparent or light-tinted grades are available if needed.
How does it differ from standard masterbatch?
Standard masterbatches are resin-specific, while universal masterbatches work across multiple resins.
Is it suitable for recyclers?
Yes, especially useful when dealing with mixed or unknown polymer streams.
Can I request a custom color in universal form?
Yes, color matching services are available for universal compatibility.
Does it require special processing conditions?
No, it is compatible with standard processing temperatures and equipment.
Can I use it in high-speed machines?
Yes, it is stable under high throughput and suitable for industrial-scale production.
Will it create issues with blending or dispersion?
No, it is formulated for good dispersion across multiple resin matrices.
Is it suitable for multilayer film or extrusion?
Yes, but compatibility testing is recommended for outer layers with critical properties.
Does it offer UV protection?
UV-stabilized universal grades are available.
What is the shelf life?
Typically 12 months when stored properly.
Is it safe for toys or medical products?
Yes, if formulated with FDA or EN 71-compliant pigments and additives.
Can I use it with biodegradable polymers?
Not all types. A biodegradable-compatible version would be needed.
Is it more expensive than standard masterbatch?
Slightly, due to the broad compatibility, but savings from reduced inventory and changeovers often outweigh the cost.
Can I blend it with other masterbatches?
Yes, but compatibility and pigment interactions should be tested.
Where can I buy Universal Masterbatch?
From leading manufacturers or platforms like MasterbatchManufacturers.com.
