bulk plastics


Explanation:
"Bulk plastics is the translation given in MS Welling's Dictionary of Plastics and Rubber Technology.

See also the following link to an English-language patent application:

Plastics masterbatch compositions are well known. They normally contain an organic resin and pigment suitable for use as pigment concentrate for dilution or "let down" into various non-pigmented plastics or polymeric materials. The masterbatch or pigment concentrate is designed to be diluted into bulk plastics to add opacity and, if necessary, colour or other functionality to the final composition.
