Solve Your Toughest Application Challenges with Custom Compounds

Our thermoplastic compounds help manufacturers meet strength, compliance, and appearance specs, without sacrificing processability.

Americhem formulates custom thermoplastics for industrial, medical, and consumer markets. Each compound starts with one of 30+ base resins—like PC, TPU, PBT, or PEEK—and is tailored with the right additives, fillers, and modifiers for your application, process, and compliance needs.

We engineer for:

  • Chemical resistance
  • Tactile performance
  • Weatherability
  • Structural durability

Where Performance Meets Processing Efficiency

Every Americhem compound is engineered for strength, speed, and consistency across demanding industries.

Americhem’s performance compounds deliver durability, clean processing, and consistent visual quality. From soft-touch elastomers to reinforced vinyl, each thermoplastic concentrate is engineered for your process and end use. Our compounds are developed with in‑house labs and pilot-production setups to ensure formulation consistency, traceability, and scalable production.

No Visual Compromises: Delivering Color Harmony for an Award-Winning Medical Device

The customer needed visible molded components that upheld strict design standards for an award-winning bowel care device. Achieving color harmony across dissimilar resins (ABS and TPE) was a critical challenge, as each material behaved differently in translucency and pigmentation. Americhem developed custom masterbatch formulations that delivered consistent translucent purple and cool grey finishes, ensuring a cohesive, high-quality appearance without visual compromises.
