Understand the application. Start with the material specification when one exists—or with the application, process and performance requirements when it does not.
Materials That Move Applications Forward
LaunchBridge Materials is a specialty distributor of polymer compounds and masterbatches for plastics processors and manufacturers.
What We Do
We connect material requirements with manufacturing capabilities across engineering thermoplastics, high-performance polymers, polyolefins, thermoplastic elastomers, functional compounds and masterbatches. We help customers identify and source materials for new applications, alternate sourcing requirements and ongoing production needs. When an existing material is not the right fit, we can also coordinate modified formulations and manufacturer-supported development.
From Requirement to Material Route
Material selection starts with the application. Polymer family, reinforcement, additives, color, processing conditions, service environment and commercial requirements all influence the right material route. We work from those requirements toward an existing, modified or custom solution as appropriate.
How We Work
Find the right material route. Evaluate existing materials first, then modified or custom formulations when the requirement calls for them.
Support the path to supply. Keep technical evaluation, sampling, qualification and commercial requirements connected as the opportunity progresses.
