Polymers are incredibly versatile materials with a broad scope of uses, and this is one reason why they are used widely in the production of numerous compounds.

Plastics compounding is the process of melt blending polymers together with other additives. This process optimises the physical, thermal, electrical or aesthetic characteristics of the polymer. The final product is called a compound.

Additives can include pigments, fillers (eg glass fibres or minerals), additives e.g. UV protection, Flame retardants etc.

With applications as varied as hot melt adhesives, purging, masterbatches and polymer compounds, the Ultrapolymers range of polymers can support you in developing the formulation you require.
