HELPING CREATE A BETTER, SAFER, MORE
Today’s consumers are
increasingly conscious of the
products they buy and the
value they get. Products that
are reliable and durable
naturally attract more attention.
And most products, whether it
is the cars we drive, the
packaging we use, the houses
we live in, the gadgets we play
with, and even healthcare, use
plastics in some form or the
other for its various
characteristics.
E COLOURFUL TOMORROW

A masterbatch is perhaps the most important element in creating quality plastic

products. It consists of pigments and additives that impart much required
characteristics and colour to the end products.

Our platform technologies help manufacturers in the production of masterbatches

that are of a high quality and unmatched consistency, delivering the best possible
return on investment. We also cater to a multitude of requirements and tailor-make
depending on customer’ requirements.

So whether its black, white or colour masterbatches or any other special

requirements that you have - you can trust STEER to create the most optimal
solution for you.
BLACK, WHITE AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN
With STEER, you can create the colour you want without having to compromise on performance or quality. Every pellet produced using our platform
technologies, has unmatched consistency a uniform spread of properties and characteristics to form the desired shape and more than perform the
task you may require it for. At STEER we focus on giving you the highest possible quality at the best possible cost.
 BLACK MASTERBATCHES
STEER helps you produce black masterbatches with a spread of
properties, from ultra jet black and UV resistance, to the more
economical ones imparting only colouration. STEER’s dispersion
technology is among the best in the world, helping create black
masterbatches that are perfectly suited for electronics, automotive,
electrical and packaging industries.

CHARACTERISTICS OF BLACK MASTERBATCH PRODUCED BY STEER TECHNOLOGY

HOMOGENOUS DISPERSION | ULTRA JET BLACK | HIGH ENDURANCE TO

WEATHER EXTREMITIES

WHITE MASTERBATCHES
Titanium dioxide masterbatches are used in many applications like films, injection moulding,
blow moulding and high-end rotational moulding. STEER’s technology ensures better dispersion
with reduced fill (lowered pressure) during melting and mixing. STEER offers a wide range of
white masterbatches with a concentration of up to 80% titanium dioxide based on PE, PP, PS,
PA, ABS and Polyester.

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE WHITE MASTERBATCH PRODUCED BY STEER TECHNOLOGY

EXCELLENT DISPERSION | THERMAL STABILITY | LOW WATER RATIO | HIGH TIO2 CONCENTRATION |
GOOD HEAT RESISTANCE

COLOUR & ADDITIVE MASTERBATCHES

STEER’s platform technologies allow for the production of colour masterbatches

that are of an extremely high quality and consistency while providing outstanding
value. Colour Masterbatches produced with STEER technology comply with leading
international standards and have excellent properties in colour dispersion and
stability performance, surface smoothness, UV absorption and weatherability.
Besides providing standard colours, STEER also custom-makes according to
customer requirements and is capable of delivering innovative solutions to some of
the most challenging colour and additive applications.

AT STEER WE THINK THROUGH
EVERY LITTLE DETAIL
The compounding process is a highly specialised one
and STEER is a master specialist. We think through
every possible detail when it comes to designing,
creating and implementing platform technologies that
give you the highest possible quality at the best
possible value.

STEER provides best-in class manufacturing

technologies. So whether it is ensuring optimum energy
utilisation to minimise degradation and maximise
properties, or stable and consistent operations over
long periods of time, or scalability, larger volumes and
responsiveness to changing input situations, STEER
has the most optimal solution to create a perfect black,
white and colour masterbatches.
WORLD-CLASS TECHNOLOGY FOR WORLD-CLASS COMPOUNDING - OUR PLATFORMS
STEER’s innovative co-rotating twin-screw extruder (TSE) platforms make the compounding process consistent, effective, efficient and scalable while
ensuring high quality. The STEER TSE homogeneously mixes pigment and additives with base polymer and goes through the compounding process
with clockwork precision — mixing, kneading, melting, venting and dispersing according to specific colour requirements.

BEATING CONVENTION WITH ‘FRACTIONAL-LOBE’ GEOMETRY
BEST-IN-CLASS PERFORMANCE

Only STEER platforms are built using the revolutionary ‘Fractional-Lobe’ geometry, replacing the conventional integer-lobe design. This patented
design screw geometry eliminates shear peaks, is self-cleaning and ensures that energy is transferred uniformly to the materials being processed. It
creates significant improvements in product quality and provides manufacturers with the capability and control required to work with sensitive
materials. Besides, this design reduces the energy consumed considerably, increasing overall efficiencies.
