ECM Plastics supplies custom compounded resins that deliver superior quality and consistent results for a wide range of resin types and performance needs. Our advanced color matching system produces exact formulations of pigments and additives which are extruded into the molten plastic resin. The finished product requires no further mixing, or let-down.

ECM Plastics custom compounds virtually any combination of performance enhancing additive and fillers:

  • Best uniformity of color and dispersion
  • Best uniformity of physical properties
  • Most even distribution of low level additives, such as UV
  • Highest possible loadings of fillers and reinforcements
  • Best method for silicones
  • Unrivaled batch homogeneity
  • Economical processing

Our custom compounded resins are specially formulated to deliver consistent critical color matching results for a wide range of polymer processing applications such as injection molding, extrusion and coextrusion, sheet film, rotational molding, and blow molding. ECM Plastics custom compounded color, additives and fillers are available separately, or can be combined as a complete package.
