Helpful Resources For Our Custom Thermoplastic Solutions

FAQs

What are the benefits of using custom plastic compounds over standard materials?

Custom plastic compounds are engineered to meet your exact specifications for mechanical properties, thermal resistance, chemical durability, and regulatory compliance. Unlike off-the-shelf materials, custom formulations optimize performance for your specific application, improve manufacturing efficiency, reduce waste, and can incorporate specialty additives like flame retardants, UV stabilizers, or antimicrobial agents that standard materials lack.

Are custom plastic formulations more expensive than off-the-shelf materials?

While custom formulations may have a higher unit cost, they often provide better total value by reducing manufacturing defects, extending product life, eliminating secondary treatments, and improving processing efficiency. Many customers find that custom compounds lower their total cost of ownership through reduced scrap, fewer warranty claims, and improved production speeds.

How do I know which plastic formulation is best for my application?

Contact our technical team for a consultation. We’ll discuss your application requirements—including mechanical properties, temperature range, chemical exposure, regulatory needs, and manufacturing process—and recommend the optimal formulation. Our experienced R&D staff will work with you to design a compound that meets your exact specifications.

Can custom plastic compounds be developed for sustainable applications?

Yes! Aurora offers multiple sustainable options including recyclable formulations, bio-based materials, PFAS-free compounds, and phthalate-free plasticizers. Our AuroraShield™ ASA series includes recyclable and environmentally-friendly products. We can develop custom formulations that meet your sustainability goals while maintaining high performance.

What industries benefit the most from custom plastic formulations?

Custom formulations benefit any industry with specialized requirements that standard materials cannot meet. Key industries include automotive (lightweight, heat-resistant components), medical (biocompatible, FDA-compliant devices), electronics (flame-retardant, ESD-safe enclosures), aerospace (high-strength, lightweight structures), packaging (sustainable, food-safe materials), and industrial manufacturing (wear-resistant, chemically stable equipment).
