To achieve customized properties of customer’s thermoplastics, namely precise performance characteristics and work efficiently with customer’s mold design, ASC R&D team works closely with customer from conception to final production . This involves intelligent selection of materials, resin, additives, fillers, reinforcing agents, colorants and defining the compounding process, to create the product that will meet desired customer specifications and value proposition.

Some of the properties that can be customized include:

• Conductive and Anti-static
• EMI shielding
• Thermoplastic Elastomer
• Flame Retardant
• High Temperature
• Structural and Reinforced
• Wear Resistant and Lubricated
• Sheet and Film products
• Colour
• Cost Efficiency

At ASC, We focus on 6 main groups of Specialty Compounds.

1) ESD / Conductive Compounds
Electrically conductive fiber / powder suffused plastics with various range of surface resistance, designed to dissipate static charges and/or protection from electrostatic discharge

2) Performance Compounds
Compounds with unique combinations of strength, color, chemical and heat resistance to meet a wide variety of needs.

3) Lubricated Compounds
Contain internally lubricated compounds, which offer inherent lubrication properties.

4) Clean Compounds
Raw materials of Clean Compounds are screened and processed to ensure that the compound meets the industry cleanliness specification.

5) Carbon Nanotube Compounds
Offer static dissipation, low particle count and minimal effect on the physical value of the base polymer. Carbon Nanotube Compounds provide an alternative to traditional conductive filled compounds.

6) Conductive Resin for extrusion application
The conductive resin offers surface finishing and consistent surface resistivity for sheet applications.
