STATUS▮ ACCEPTING PROGRAMS

Polymer
compounds,
engineered to
spec.

Chemplax compounds TPV, polypropylene, EVA, and nylon resins for the automotive, defense, and heavy-industry programs that can't accept failure — and won't accept opaque supply. Every lot traceable. Every kilogram recyclable. Every spec validated on the line that ships it.

PORTFOLIO — FAMILIES
05

Five compound families. Virgin, recycled-content, and engineered custom grades.

// SECTION 01 / CAPABILITIES

Three
disciplines.
One supplier.

Most converters source compounding, post-industrial recycling, and custom formulation from three vendors. Chemplax does the work under one roof — one quality system, one production schedule — at our Kenton, Tennessee line.

01 / ENGINEEROP-EN.001

Custom formulations to drawing or to MFI.

Application engineering for thermoplastic vulcanizates, glass-filled nylons, impact-modified PP, and EVA copolymers. We formulate to your performance window — durometer, melt flow, heat deflection, regrind tolerance.

02 / COMPOUNDOP-CO.001

Co-rotating twin-screw, lot-traced, ISO-audited.

Commercial-scale compounding with gravimetric feed control, in-line moisture management, and full lot genealogy. Every kilogram ties back to raw-material certificate, screw profile, and QC retain — held for the life of your program.

03 / RECYCLEOP-RE.001

Closed-loop chemistry. Verified recycled content.

Post-industrial reclaim and engineered recycled grades that meet the same specification window as virgin equivalents. Qualified feedstock from compounders, converters, and OEMs returns to your program as performance-grade compound.

// SECTION 03 / INDUSTRIES

Where
Chemplax
ships today.

Programs that demand documented chemistry, qualified suppliers, and a phone line to the formulator. The seven sectors we lead with.

// SECTION 04 / CLOSED LOOP

Recycled
content
without the
asterisks.

Most "sustainable" compounds rely on certificates and percentages no one can defend in a procurement audit. Chemplax runs an actual loop: qualified post-industrial feedstock from your operation, compounded back to specification, shipped as a documented, traceable recycled grade.
