Masterbatch for Agriculture & Irrigation
Products that spend years in the field need carbon black that is fine, fully dispersed and dosed right. MB-BLK40-AG is engineered for drip laterals and mulch films, giving UV protection and opacity that hold up season after season.
- Drip lateral pipes
- Agricultural mulch films
- Greenhouse covers
- HDPE conduits
- Micro-irrigation tubes
What We Solve
The problems our grades are built for.
- 01
Pipe standards
5.0% – 6.25% let-down delivers ≥ 2.0% – 2.5% active carbon black for IS 12786 / ISO 4427 laterals.
- 02
Outdoor UV exposure
20 nm furnace carbon black provides 5+ years of UV stability in the field.
- 03
Weed suppression
4.0% – 6.0% let-down gives more than 99.5% optical opacity in 15 – 30 μm mulch films.
- 04
Clean, long runs
Dispersion ≤ 2 per ISO 18553 and FPV < 1.0 bar/g avoid screen-pack choking.
Recommended Grades & Dosage
What to run, and how much.
Let-down and addition levels are quoted from the grade TDS. Your final dosage depends on gauge, wall thickness and target properties; the let-down ratio calculator works out masterbatch and resin quantities for a batch.

FAQ
Questions about masterbatch for agriculture.
What let-down do drip irrigation laterals need?
Drip laterals to IS 12786 / ISO 4427 run MB-BLK40-AG at 5.0% – 6.25%, which delivers ≥ 2.0% – 2.5% active carbon black. Dispersion ≤ 2 per ISO 18553 and FPV < 1.0 bar/g help avoid screen-pack choking on long runs.
How much black masterbatch goes into mulch film?
4.0% – 6.0% of MB-BLK40-AG gives more than 99.5% optical opacity in 15 – 30 μm mulch films, which is what suppresses weeds under the film.
Do you make UV stabilizer masterbatch for greenhouse covers?
Yes, on request. UV stabilizer masterbatches for greenhouse covers are formulated to your exposure and gauge, so share both when you request a sample.
How should carbon black masterbatch be stored?
Carbon black is hygroscopic: reseal bags immediately and pre-dry stock that has been stored for long periods.
