Engineered Thermoplastic Compounds for Critical Applications
Custom Compounds Built for Strength, Compliance, and Aesthetics
From reinforced resins to soft-touch elastomers, our custom compounded thermoplastics are built for durability, visual appeal, and manufacturing efficiency.
Solve Tough Design and Manufacturing Challenges with Custom Compounds
Americhem’s engineered thermoplastics balance appearance, strength, and processability—backed by decades of application-driven R&D.
Every Americhem compound starts with a performance goal and is reverse-engineered to meet it. We select from over 30 base resins—like PC, TPE, TPU, PBT, and PEEK—and enhance them with custom additive and filler packages to deliver:
- Structural durability for load-bearing parts
- Visual and tactile quality for consumer-facing components
- Regulatory compliance: ISO, RoHS, REACH, FDA
- Processing efficiency for extrusion, injection molding, or blow molding
- Proven performance backed by 75+ years and the LTL Color Compounders legacy
Formulations are available in pre-colored, additive-integrated, or unfilled formats to match your goals.
Built to Perform Where It Matters Most
Whether your challenge is mechanical strength, aesthetics, or regulatory compliance, our compounds are engineered to meet it.
Americhem’s custom thermoplastic compounding blends resin science with end-use insight. Our team works with OEMs across aerospace, automotive, medical, consumer, and building sectors—so we know the risks, regulations, and performance thresholds your parts need to meet.
Choose the Right Engineered Compound for Your Application
Each compound line is engineered to solve real-world design, production, or compliance challenges.
