Lab and Full-Scale Production


In collaboration with our subsidiary, the Polymers Technology Center, we are able to offer high-quality compounding and extrusion services to develop materials. We assist businesses with their particular production requirements, from creating trial samples with our adaptable lab scale 21mm twin screw extruder to full-scale production with our 27mm and 50mm Leistritz Maxx equipment.

Film and Sheet Extrusion


We have a professional-grade extrusion lab at the Polymers Center in Charlotte, NC. Our polymer extrusion equipment is capable of the following:

  • We can extrude plastic film, and plastic sheets with our 1.5” single screw and 8” wide film die


  • We can produce mono-layer blown film samples with our small-scale 2” blown film line.

Available Compounding Services


While we focus on developing polymers at the Polymers Center, the Polymers Technology Center is perfect for polymer extrusion processes and other manufacturing services. The services at the Technology Center include:


  • Plastic Masterbatch Processing and Extrusion: Using state-of-the-art twin-screw compounding lines, the Technology Center can assist with demanding jobs. This includes homogenization, deagglomeration, dispersion, and distribution of additives, fillers, and liquids into your polymer base.


  • Custom Compounds: We are happy to assist your business with all polymer compounding needs. You can expect to receive consistent, high-quality compounds ranging from small volumes to masterbatches.


  • Product Development Trials: The Polymers Technology Center helps businesses with process optimization, innovative resin and additive combinations research, and the development of new products and specialty compounds.


  • Low Shear and High Shear Blending: Without degrading, the Technology Center can handle both high-shear mixing and low-shear products.


  • Reactive Extrusion: Our extrusion machines combine chemical reactions, which are typically handled separately from extrusion.
