Compounding

Plastics processing

Compounding is a showcase discipline for the Leistritz twin screw extruder. A wide variety of options for incorporating fillers and reinforcing materials into the polymer matrix are possible and lead to new material properties which are used in a multitude of applications.

Extruders or complete production lines

We offer you YOUR tailor-made solution, regardless of what compounding challenges you have for us.

reinforcement of polymers, e.g. through the incorporation of fibers (glass, carbon or natural fibers)
modification of the impact strength of thermoplastics, e.g. by blending with rubber components
improvement of the dimensional stability and breaking resistance of polymers, e.g. by the incorporation of inorganic fillers, glass beads

enhancement of the flow and flame retardant properties of polymers, e.g. through the incorporation of low-viscosity substances or flame retardants
production of polymer blends, e.g. through the mixing of compatible and incompatible polymers
improvement of the chemical/physical durability of polymers, e.g. through the incorporation of stabilizers, static inhibitors
