Antioxidant Masterbatch is one of the most important additives used in plastic manufacturing processes. Plastics are typically prone to aging when exposed to light, oxygen, and heat, which leads to changes such as reduced strength, stiffness, and flexibility, discoloration, surface scratching, and loss of clarity. Antioxidant masterbatch is added to the base polymer of products to prevent these problems from occurring.

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.
