MFI Enhancer Masterbatch is a polymeric additive used to increase or decrease the Melt Flow Index (MFI) of a polymer base. This type of masterbatch can be added to polypropylene and polyethylene bases to achieve property uniformity, improve melt strength, reduce shrinkage and warpage, eliminate die swell, increase production speed, and lower the pressure and energy requirements in the injection molding process.

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.
