Polymer Compounding: How Plastics Get Their Properties
Introduction In the ever-expanding universe of plastic materials, one process stands as the foundation for their incredible versatility: ...
At Polymer Compounders Ltd (PCL), we deliver high-performance compounds designed to meet the rigorous standards of the automotive industry. Our materials are engineered for durability, dimensional stability, and outstanding surface finish, helping manufacturers maintain quality across multiple production sites and ensure consistent part performance in demanding environments.
PCL offers a specialist range of polymer solutions for healthcare applications, combining biocompatibility, chemical resistance, and regulatory compliance. Our precision manufacturing guarantees material consistency, supporting customers in producing safe, reliable medical devices and components that meet strict industry standards.
We understand the critical importance of hygiene in sensitive applications. Our compounds provide enhanced chemical resistance, easy-clean surfaces, and antimicrobial properties where needed. This ensures that our customers can maintain product integrity and deliver on strict hygiene requirements across a wide range of sectors.
PCL compounds are formulated to perform under harsh outdoor conditions, offering UV resistance, impact strength, and colour stability. Our customers rely on our expertise to produce parts that retain their appearance and mechanical properties, even after prolonged exposure to the elements.
Our optical-grade materials deliver excellent clarity, controlled refractive indices, and superior scratch resistance. At PCL, we work closely with customers to ensure that every batch meets strict optical standards, supporting the production of high-quality lenses, light guides, and precision optical components.
In aerospace, precision and reliability are paramount. Our advanced polymer solutions offer high strength-to-weight ratios, flame retardancy, and resistance to extreme temperatures. Customers trust PCL to supply materials that meet stringent aerospace specifications and deliver outstanding performance in critical applications.
All our products are manufactured with very strict colour tolerances and consistent gloss level. Our customers are telling us how much this is essential for applications where different parts are made at different moulders, in order to enhance product aesthetic and avoid a high level of reject at final assembly.
Since our creation in 1993 PCL have progressively increased the product range it offers to now include ABS, Polycarbonate, PC/ABS alloys, ASA and other engineering thermoplastics.
Our versatile manufacturing plant allows us to offer tailored materials, as demanded by your application.
What really differentiates us is the service we offer to our customers; from rapid colour matching, outstanding technical support and first-class product quality through to flexibility on the quantity ordered and super-fast delivery from our production plant in Durham, UK.
We have a great team that provides excellent customer service including hardworking production operators who work day and night to create materials according to your specifications.
