Plastic compounding scheme. Compounding consists of preparing plastic formulations by mixing and/or blending polymers and additives in a molten state to achieve the desired characteristics. [1] These blends are automatically dosed with fixed setpoints usually through feeders/hoppers.
Compounding extrusion is a process that mixes one or more polymers with additives to give plastic compounds. The feeds may be pellets, powder and/or liquids, but the product is usually in pellet form, to be used in other plastic-forming processes such as extrusion and injection molding.
The additives in a masterbatch are chosen to impart desired physical property changes to a final plastic product. They can increase volumetric output due to thermal conductivity and volumetric expansion at a given temperature as well as potentially increasing the toughness, flexural stiffness, adhesion, and printability of a final product.

Sheet moulding compound (SMC) or sheet moulding composite is a ready to mould glass-fibre reinforced polyester material primarily used in compression moulding. [1] The sheet is provided in rolls weighing up to 1000 kg.
Ottawa, Aug. 20, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The global plastic compounding market size was valued at USD 68.20 billion in 2023 and is predicted to hit around USD 129.99 billion by 2032, a study published by Towards Packaging a sister firm of Precedence Statistics.
Polymer engineering is generally an engineering field that designs, analyses, and modifies polymer materials. Polymer engineering covers aspects of the petrochemical industry, polymerization, structure and characterization of polymers, properties of polymers, compounding and processing of polymers and description of major polymers, structure property relations and applications.
Bulk moulding compound (BMC), bulk moulding composite, or dough moulding compound (DMC), [1] is a ready-to-mold, glass-fiber reinforced thermoset polymer material primarily used in compression moulding, as well as in injection moulding and transfer moulding. [1]
Compounds: During the compounding process at Ensinger, plastic raw materials are melted and extruded into thin strands with various fillers or additives, and then cut into granules. This process tailors the properties of the plastics to meet the requirements of specific applications.
