Plastic Compounding

Polymers, impact modifiers, flame retardants, and thermal stabilizers that help plastics perform tougher, safer, and longer.

About 

A plastic compound is only as good as what goes into it. The base resin sets the starting point, but additives decide how the final product behaves. They determine whether it bends or breaks, burns or self-extinguishes, and lasts five years or fifty.

ARP Materials supplies plastic compounding additives to compounders, extruders, and molders across North America. Our customers make wire and cable compounds, PVC profiles, packaging films, plastic sheets, and molded parts.

Plastics compounders work in a world of trade-offs. Raise impact strength, and stiffness may drop. Add flame retardants, and processing can suffer. The best formulas strike the right balance for each application, and finding that balance takes both the right ingredients and the know-how to use them.

That’s where ARP comes in. Our team has hands-on R&D experience with polymer modifiers and flame-retardant systems, so we can help you tune a formula rather than just fill an order.

Behind it all is a supply network built for North American manufacturing. With inventory staged across the U.S., ARP helps you keep extruders running and orders shipping on time.
