Processing aid masterbatch refers to a type of masterbatch used to improve processability and enhance the final properties of polymer products, particularly during the extrusion process. Due to their long molecular chains and viscoelastic properties, polymers often face issues like melt fracture or the formation of rough surfaces after exiting the die, which negatively affect the properties and appearance of the final product, processing aid masterbatch can help address these issues.

An additive masterbatch is a polymer-based material which is added to the raw materials of a plastic product during production to create or enhance specific properties in the final product. For example, a clarifying masterbatch is considered an additive masterbatch. In the plastics manufacturing industry, different properties are required depending on the end-use product. For instance, if a product is meant to be used outdoors and exposed to sunlight for long periods, an Anti-UV masterbatch should be added during production to improve its resistance against ultraviolet (UV) radiation and extend its lifespan. Other common types of additive masterbatches include white, black, anti-block, anti-static, brightening, anti-shrink, antioxidant, and moisture absorber masterbatches.
