01
Existing
Need an established grade or another source? We can help identify material options that fit the requirement.
Start here when the polymer family, incumbent grade, specification or key performance requirements are already defined.
Material Solutions
Start with the requirement—not necessarily a new formulation. An established grade, an alternate source, a targeted modification or a manufacturer-supported development path may provide the right route.

Existing. Modified. Custom.
Not every requirement needs to start from zero. The right path depends on how closely available materials fit the application, processing needs and commercial requirements.
02
Modified
Need a change in reinforcement, color, stabilization, flow, impact, flame performance or recycled content? A proven formulation may be adaptable.
This route can make sense when an established formulation is close, but the application calls for a targeted adjustment.
03
Custom
When standard and modified routes do not fit, we can coordinate a manufacturer-supported development path around the application.
The starting point is the application requirement, processing route and performance target—not a predetermined formulation.
Where do I start?
Begin with what you already know. You do not need a complete material specification before starting the conversation.
Have a material requirement?
Start with an existing material route or discuss a requirement that may call for modification or development.
