PE & PP Masterbatch for Fibre Optic Components – DELTAPLAST
DELTAPLAST PE & PP Masterbatches from Delta Tecnic are designed for fibre optic cable components, especially in buffer tube extrusion where compatibility, dimensional stability and colour consistency are essential.
Polypropylene (PP) is widely used in fibre optic buffer tube manufacturing due to its rigidity, stability and suitability for high-speed extrusion processes. In these applications, any variation in pigment dispersion or masterbatch compatibility can affect tube concentricity and, consequently, cable performance.
DELTAPLAST solutions are formulated with PE or PP carriers, ensuring perfect integration with the base resin and stable behaviour during continuous extrusion.

DELTAPLAST PE & PP masterbatches have been specifically developed to meet the technical requirements of fibre optic cable manufacturers.
Key features include:
- PE-based masterbatches for PP applications: Provide excellent compatibility with the base resin, ensuring homogeneous colour integration without affecting processability.
- High opacity for clear identification: Formulations deliver high opacity, essential for proper tube identification even in thin wall applications.
- Controlled pigment dispersion: Ensures uniform colour distribution, avoiding defects and guaranteeing production consistency.
- Stable processing in continuous extrusion: Optimized for high-speed lines, maintaining flow stability and final product quality.
- Low dosage with high tint strength: High pigment concentration allows reduced masterbatch usage, improving process efficiency.
Thanks to Delta Tecnic’s expertise in telecom masterbatch formulation, these solutions help maintain concentricity, dimensional stability and colour consistency, even under demanding production conditions.
