Abstract: 1369638 Powder-coated plastics pellets FERRO CORP 27 Oct 1971 49973/71 Heading B5A  Master batch material for plastics containing a pigment or other powdered additive uniformly distributed comprises pellets of polymer material, e.g. polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, ABS, or polyvinylchloride each pellet being coated with the particles of additive sheathed in polymer material which bonds the particles to the surface of the pellets. The pellets, powdered additive and a powdered raw polymer having a lower melting point than the pellets are put into a high-speed rotor-type mixture which throws them upward so that a circulatory intermixing of material takes place, during which the powdered polymer is heated to melt and coat the powdered additive and thus cause it to coat the pellets. Alternatively the powder may be coated first before being mixed with the pellets but this method is not preferred. The coated pellets may be fed to an extruder and subsequently re-pelletized. The powdered additive may be any pigment, a number of examples being given, or it may be, e.g. an ultra-violet light stabilizer, flame retardant, anti-oxidant, or anti-static either alone or more usually with a pigment. The powdered polymer may be of the same kind as the pellet but with a lower melting point, e.g. low molecular weight polyethylene wax powder with polyethylene pellets, or it may be of different kind, e.g. the afforesaid polyethylene wax with polyvinyl chloride pellets. Typical proportions by weight are: pigment 50%, pellets 40%, polymer powder 10%. The heating of the polymer powder may be generated by friction.
