Silvergate’s Simply White technology is used in a range of cost-effective white masterbatches that perform extremely well in terms of colour accuracy and covering power. With a lower price tag than industry alternatives, Simply White is delivers a high performance, low cost alternative for plastic processors.

Despite its a low cost price tag, Simply White does not compromise on quality, performance or compliance; it achieves good colour and opacity whilst helping to overcome common problems related to screw and barrel wear. The technology removes the need for customers to specify titanium dioxide contents by providing an opacity index figure for each product.

I am delighted that our continued effort in driving new innovations has been recognised by such a prestigious and well-known advisory body to many of the world’s leading organisations.”

Samples of Simply White have now been added to the Innovation Library and are available for worldwide distribution.
