We take an objective look at the types of polymer fillers and reinforcements available and which ones will give you the results you’re seeking. There are quite a few options in the mineral family, and they not only reduce cost, they can also boost strength when added to a polymer. It’s a relatively inexpensive material, one that's widely used at large percentages to reduce the cost of a compound.

This next-generation light-blocking additive offers a more sustainable and cost-effective alternative to traditional solutions, providing enhanced protection compared to standard masterbatch solutions for ESL dairy protection. Avient's commitment to sustainability and innovation is further demonstrated through Lactra ESL's potential for bottle lightweighting, which can reduce transportation costs and lower CO₂ emissions.

It’s a cost-effective option for paint replacement on polymer parts and creates an exceptional metallic color that continues through the part’s thickness,” says Rob Bindner, Americas vice president & general manager, Color and Additives for PolyOne. When molded into plastic parts, manufacturers can eliminate painting and its associated processing steps for lower cost and longer-lasting, highly reflective surfaces.”

During trial testing versus existing materials, both solutions displayed a 15% reduction in cycle time and decreased energy costs, resulting in higher production efficiency. These new materials can improve our customers’ profitability by boosting production rates and lowering total system costs.”
