A high-concentration, unfilled film grade for blown film lines that need a deep black without mineral filler. 47% carbon black on a clean PE carrier, ash below 1%, so nothing migrates and nothing scratches your die.

Where CM50 shows up in our export business, and why buyers pick it.
Recommended let-down is a starting range for trials. For illustration, a 1.5% addition uses 15 kg of masterbatch per 1,000 kg of finished film and a 3% addition uses 30 kg. Those are ratio calculations, not a statement that any loading reaches the depth of black you need — confirm the loading in a trial at your gauge and resin.
Unfilled carrier keeps the weathering package clean; pairs with your UV system instead of fighting it.
Ash below 1% means no mineral leachables; food-contact statements available on request.
Runs as the black layer in 3-layer structures without die-buildup issues from filler.
The formulation logic behind the spec sheet — what the chart does not say.
Why 47% and not more: above roughly 50% loading on PE, dispersion quality starts to trade against concentration. CM50 sits at the point where you still get a sieve-clean compound at let-downs of 1–3%. What that means in kilograms of masterbatch per tonne of film is arithmetic, not a performance claim: for illustration, a 1.5% addition uses 15 kg per 1,000 kg of finished film and a 3% addition uses 30 kg. Those are ratio calculations, not an opacity comparison with another grade.
Why unfilled: filler is a cost tool, not a quality tool. On film that goes through narrow die gaps, CaCO₃ raises gel count and abrasion. CM50 keeps ash below 1% so the gauge stays clean and die life stays long.
The 10 kg MFR condition (not the usual 21.6 kg) reflects how this grade flows in LLDPE film lines — matched so the black layer and the host resin move as one melt.
Three film grades, three different jobs. CM50 is the one built for a deep black on unfilled PE.
| Grade | Carbon black | Carrier system | Let-down | FOB price | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CM50 | 47% ±2 | PE (unfilled) | 1–3% | USD 2.10–4.50 | Blown film where a deep black is required and no mineral filler is wanted in the system |
| N4066 | 46% ±2 | PE (unfilled) | 1–1.5% | USD 2.00–4.20 | Thin mulch film below 15 µm, protective bags, co-ex black layers |
| 508C | 13% ±2 | PE + CaCO₃ (~56%) | 3–6% | USD 1.20–2.80 | Cost-driven extruded parts where UV is not the driver |
An unfilled 47% grade is a dispersion product, and dispersion problems show up visually on film before they show up anywhere else.
High-load unfilled grades put more carbon black per kilogram through the same screen area. On a fine pack, pressure climbs across a run and the operator ends up blaming the masterbatch. Open the pack, or accept a shorter screen change interval — the arithmetic is in the dosing, not in the grade.
Streaks on blown film from a 47% grade are usually incomplete dispersion, and incomplete dispersion is usually a screw or temperature problem rather than a raw-material problem. Check barrel profile and mixing elements before you reject the lot. If you need a filter-pressure figure to separate the two causes, ask for it with the quotation — it is not part of the standard release sheet, so we confirm then whether we can run it and on what terms.
CM50 is supplied below the stated moisture ceiling in sealed 25 kg bags. Re-drying is not required and, done badly, can fuse pellets in the hopper. If storage has been poor, dry per the TDS rather than by habit.
It is compounded on clean, unfilled PE with food-contact statements available on request. For formal compliance documents against your market (EU 10/2011, FDA), tell us your target and we issue the statement with the quote.
Start at 2% in natural LLDPE and walk down. Most lines settle between 1% and 3% depending on gauge and the opacity you are targeting. Whether a given let-down reaches the hiding you need is a trial question at your gauge and resin, not something we can promise from the percentage alone.
Yes — it is a general blown-film grade, not restricted to co-ex. On mono-layer lines it doubles as the UV-carrier layer for silage and geomembrane when paired with your UV package.

Both are run at a low let-down; which one reaches the hiding you need at 20 µm is settled on a trial at your gauge and resin. CM50 at 1–3% gives more headroom on let-down; N4066 with its tighter moisture ceiling is the usual choice when the gauge drops below about 15 µm and bubbles become the limiting defect.
The two film grades are characterised at different loads, which is why the figures in the table are not directly comparable. Use the value to judge processing behaviour inside the same grade family, not across families.
Yes — a thin black co-ex layer is a normal use. Tell us the layer thickness and the total structure and we will recommend a let-down to start the trial from. Whether that loading gives the hiding you need at your gauge is settled on the trial, not from the percentage on paper.
Tell us your polymer, process and target carbon black in the part. We reply with the CM50 spec sheet, a let-down recommendation and a firm factory quote.
CM50 is compounded for cable jacketing and wire sheathing, where clean running at line speed is decided by dispersion. This is that line.
