Plastic compounding is the process of blending polymers with additives, fillers, reinforcements, and colourants to tailor material properties for specific performance requirements. From improving strength and durability to enhancing flame resistance, processability, or aesthetics, compounding allows manufacturers to engineer plastics that meet exacting end-use and regulatory standards.
At Naphtha Plastics, we support compounders with clean, consistent polymer feedstock - both prime and recycled - alongside high-quality additives, fillers, and masterbatch. Our materials form the foundation for compounds used across industries including automotive, electronics, packaging, construction, and consumer goods.


THE CHALLENGE: CONSISTENCY AND COMPATIBILITY
Compounding success depends on tight control of raw material quality. Inconsistent regrind or contaminated feedstock can lead to poor dispersion of additives, colour variability, unstable melt flow, or mechanical failures in the final product. With rising demand for recycled content and custom performance formulations, compounders need reliable, repeatable material inputs to maintain quality and efficiency.
Our Solution: Trusted Feedstock and Masterbatch Supply
We help compounders overcome these challenges by supplying:
- Clean, pre-qualified regrind or off-spec polymers for best performance at a lower cost.
- Performance additives such as impact modifiers, UV stabilisers, flame retardants, processing aids, and antioxidants.
- Masterbatches for blacking off, or matching to a precise colour, compatible with a wide range of polymers.
- Technical guidance on material selection and formulation optimisation.
We understand the processing parameters and final properties you're aiming for, and we source material accordingly.
