At Shenzhen Dome Materials, we have spent the past 16 years building a reputation for excellence in the plastic masterbatch industry. What began as a modest startup focused on high-quality additives has grown into a global leader in plastic Laser Marking Additives and color masterbatches. Our journey reflects innovation, customer-centric solutions, and a relentless commitment to quality in polymer compounding and functional additives.
From our base in Shenzhen and Foshan, China, we have expanded our reach by supplying premium plastic masterbatch solutions to manufacturers worldwide. Our core offerings include white, black, and custom color masterbatches compatible with carriers such as PP, PE, PC, TPU, EVA, ABS, POM, PBT, and more. We specialize in TPU-based formulations tailored for demanding applications. Today, our monthly production capacity exceeds 70 tons across five twin-screw lines, supported by an 800㎡ warehouse for fast stock delivery and free samples.
Our R&D Advancements in Laser Marking Agent and Marking Enhancer for Ear Tags
A major milestone in our history has been advancing laser marking agent and laser marking enhancer (also known as laser marking additive masterbatch) technologies, particularly for livestock ear tags. Traditional marking methods like ink printing or hot stamping often fade, crack, or fail under harsh outdoor conditions. In contrast, our laser-reactive additives enable permanent, high-contrast markings directly into the polymer without surface damage or color alteration.
We developed specialized laser marking additives that absorb laser energy efficiently, producing crisp black-on-color, white-on-black, or even golden marks on polymers like TPU, PP, PE, PA66, ABS, PC, PBT, and POM. For TPU livestock ear tags—which meet ICAR standards and EN ISO 4892-2 weather resistance requirements—our formulations deliver exceptional contrast and durability. These additives resist UV exposure, abrasion, chemicals, and extreme temperatures, ensuring lifelong readability for animal traceability.
Our R&D team, working independently and in alliance with university research institutes, has refined these additives for optimal dispersion, low dosage rates (typically 1-4%), and compatibility with both extrusion and injection molding. We offer black-marking and white-marking variants, laser-sensitive pigments, and custom compounds. Manufacturers benefit from faster production cycles, reduced scrap, and markings that support digital farming systems—critical for tracking vaccination history, breeding data, and food safety compliance in cattle, sheep, pigs, and other livestock.
Client Focus: Livestock Identification Manufacturers as Our Top Revenue Segment
Livestock identification manufacturers represent our largest and most valued revenue segment. Modern agriculture demands reliable, tamper-proof ID solutions for herd management, disease control, and supply-chain traceability. TPU ear tags have become the industry standard due to their flexibility, animal comfort, and longevity—but only when paired with superior color masterbatch and laser marking additives.
We provide turnkey TPU color masterbatches in vibrant, light-fast shades alongside our laser engraving additive and marking enhancers. Clients report superior mark quality, consistent color matching across batches, and seamless integration into high-volume production. Our solutions help manufacturers meet stringent global standards while lowering costs compared to imported alternatives (such as premium European laser additives).
By focusing on this niche, we have built deep expertise in polymer behavior under laser marking, enabling us to offer OEM customization, free proofing, and technical support. This segment drives the majority of our business because it combines high technical requirements with recurring demand in a growing market fueled by precision livestock farming worldwide.
Future Outlook: Expansions in the US & Brazil Market with Agents
Looking ahead, we are actively expanding our footprint in the United States and Brazil through strategic agent and distributor partnerships. North American and South American livestock and agricultural sectors are adopting advanced traceability technologies rapidly, driven by regulatory pressures and demand for efficient farm management. Our plastic masterbatches, color masterbatches, and laser marking solutions are ideally positioned to meet this need with competitive pricing, fast lead times, and localized support.
We seek reliable global agents who can provide on-ground technical assistance, warehousing, and customized application development. Early collaborations have already shown strong interest from manufacturers of ear tags, security seals, and molded plastic components. This expansion will include enhanced logistics, localized inventory of popular TPU ear tag compounds, and joint R&D to adapt formulations for specific laser equipment and environmental standards. By partnering locally, we aim to reduce delivery times, offer faster prototyping, and provide 24/7 expert support to global clients.
Conclusion: Continuing Our Legacy of Innovation
Sixteen years of excellence have taught us that success in plastic masterbatches comes from innovation, quality, and deep customer partnerships. From pioneering laser marking agents and marking enhancers for durable livestock ear tags to serving top livestock identification manufacturers, we remain committed to pushing boundaries in polymer additives.
