To meet the growing demands of the modern plastics age, masterbatch formulators are always being challenged to provide improved functionalities to their products. The plastics science frontier is continually expanding and masterbatch formulators are the pathfinders for providing the technology to help explore its vastness. Polyolefin materials are being used in applications never dreamed of by their original developers. Film producers are stretching the demands on masterbatch suppliers for materials that help them achieve thinner films and faster speeds without sacrificing their high quality standards. Injection molders want to make more durable products at reasonable costs. Polyolefin resin producers are creating novel materials that require unique handling and processing never before experienced by fabricators.
