How can Specialty Compounding NY Help Your Business

The plastics industry often utilizes compounding as the main process of blending and mixing base polymers with additives. This manufacturing process aims to manufacture a polymer blend that is endowed with a specific set of characteristics. In most cases, compounding is achieved via extrusion. The process works by taking the base polymer and the needed additives, mixing them, and then feeding them through an extruder. Once finished, you are left with pellets used in different plastic forming processes (i.e., injection molding).
