Question 1

What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?

Accepted Answer

The MOQ depends on the formulation and the production line. We handle both pilot batches and continuous production at industrial volumes — actual MOQ is defined case by case during the technical offer.

Question 2

Do you offer full tolling services?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We work both in pure tolling (raw material supplied by the client) and on a buy-sell basis. The contractual model is defined case by case based on technical, fiscal and logistical needs.

Question 3

Do you sign non-disclosure agreements (NDA)?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we routinely sign NDAs with clients before sharing technical specifications, proprietary formulations or process data. We can work on your NDA template or propose ours.

Question 4

How do you structure pricing for a contract?

Accepted Answer

Pricing depends on the base polymer, fillers and additives, volumes and packaging. Once we receive the technical specification, we issue a detailed quotation in 5-7 working days.

Question 5

Which polymers do you specialize in?

Accepted Answer

Our know-how covers PP, PE, PS and EPDM, with mineral filling (talc, calcium carbonate, fiberglass), additivation (UV, flame retardants, antioxidants) and coloring to client specification.

Question 6

Do you produce compounds with recycled material?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we handle formulations using virgin and second-life material, particularly post-industrial recycled polystyrenes. Recycled content percentages are agreed with the client based on required performance.

Question 7

Do you process only standard polymers or also speciality ones?

Accepted Answer

We mainly process polyolefins (PP, PE, PS) and EP(D)M elastomers. For special or off-catalogue polymers we can assess feasibility during the development phase, on request.

Question 8

Can you develop formulations from our recipe?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We regularly work from client recipes, with the option of process optimization by our laboratory. Specifications remain client-owned and covered by NDA.

Question 9

What are your sampling lead times?

Accepted Answer

For standard compounds we deliver samples in 2-3 weeks. For custom developments lead times are agreed during the technical offer, depending on recipe complexity and raw-material availability.

Question 10

Which packaging formats do you handle?

Accepted Answer

25 kg bags, big bags (500-1,000 kg), octabin and custom packaging. The packaging standard is defined based on the client’s production needs and transport modes.

Question 11

Where do you ship?

Accepted Answer

We ship regularly to client production sites across Europe. Delivery terms (Incoterms) are defined contractually.

Question 12

How fast do you fulfill an order?

Accepted Answer

For scheduled productions, standard fulfillment is 2-4 weeks from order confirmation. For urgencies we can organize line priority, compatibly with the production plan.

Question 13

Are you ISO 9001 certified?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our Quality Management System is ISO 9001 certified. Every stage of the production process — from raw-material intake to batch release — is tracked and documented in accordance with the standard.

Question 14

Do you issue Certificates of Analysis (CoA)?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every batch ships with a Certificate of Analysis (CoA) including the lab results: MFI, density, color, mechanical properties and any other parameter agreed in specification.

Question 15

Which lab tests do you run?

Accepted Answer

MFI, density, colorimetry, mechanical properties (tensile, flexural, impact), residual moisture and additional bespoke tests on request. Instruments are regularly calibrated and methods aligned to reference standards.

Question 16

Which industries do you serve?

Accepted Answer

Automotive, construction, packaging, appliances and durable consumer goods. Our clients are mainly the major European chemical and petrochemical groups.

Question 17

Do you work to customer recipes or develop the formulation in-house?

Accepted Answer

Both. We routinely work to customer recipes, with the option of process optimisation by our lab. Specifications remain customer property and are covered by NDA.

Question 18

What is the minimum order quantity?

Accepted Answer

We start at 500 kg for pilot runs and scale up to continuous industrial volumes. The actual MOQ depends on recipe complexity and is agreed during the technical quotation.

Question 19

What kind of mineral fillers can you dose?

Accepted Answer

Calcium carbonate, talc, wollastonite, short glass fibre, mica and technical additives. Dosing is gravimetric with hundredth-of-a-percent precision and lot-after-lot repeatability.

Question 20

Do you issue Certificates of Analysis?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Each batch ships with a CoA reporting MFI, density, colorimetry and the mechanical properties agreed in the spec. Documentary traceability matches the requirements of multinational customers.

Question 21

What are typical order lead times?

Accepted Answer

For scheduled production, standard lead times are 2-4 weeks from order confirmation. For urgent runs we can arrange line priority, subject to the production plan.

Question 22

Can you operate under full toll-manufacturing?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We work both as pure toll-manufacturer (full-tolling) and with raw material purchase on our side. The contractual setup is agreed each time based on customer needs.

Question 23

Can you guarantee colour stability across batches?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Hundredth-of-a-percent gravimetric dosing combined with colorimetric control in the lab guarantees ΔE ≤ 1.0 lot-after-lot on consolidated recipes.

Question 24

Do you issue a CoA for every batch produced?

Accepted Answer

Yes, every batch comes with its CoA, in line with the agreed specifications.

Question 25

Can I supply my own colour masterbatch?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We can run with masterbatch supplied by the customer or use our consolidated sources. The choice depends on the customer’s technical and cost strategy.

Question 26

What is the minimum order quantity?

Accepted Answer

We start at 500 kg for pilot batches. Industrial quantities are agreed case by case, based on formulation and seasonality.

Question 27

Up to what percentage of recyclate can you process?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the finished-product spec. In many applications we reach up to 60% second-life material while maintaining performance equivalent to virgin. The optimal percentage is validated in the lab.

Question 28

How do you guarantee quality with recyclate?

Accepted Answer

Every inbound regrind lot is characterised by our lab (MFI, particle size, colour, contaminants). Only streams compliant with the agreed data sheet enter production.

Question 29

Can I supply my own second-life regrind?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We work both with customer-supplied recyclate and with consolidated streams from our partners. In both cases material qualification is a prerequisite for entering the line.

Question 30

Do you issue a recyclate-percentage statement?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The CoA includes the second-life percentage in the batch — useful for sustainability reporting and customer product certifications.

Question 31

What is the advantage over virgin only?

Accepted Answer

Lower raw-material cost, reduced carbon footprint and alignment with the circular-economy targets demanded by global brands and European regulation.

Question 32

Are the EPDM pellets stable in storage?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Controlled cooling and optional anti-stick additivation produce pellets that do not block in big bags and stay free-flowing over time.

Question 33

Do you process filled EPDM or only neutral?

Accepted Answer

Both. We pelletise neutral EPDM, EPDM with mineral fillers (carbonates, talcs) and customer-specific compounds.

Question 34

Can I supply my own raw EPDM?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We mainly operate as toll manufacturer: the customer supplies raw or baled EPDM and we transform it into pellets according to their spec.

Question 35

What is the advantage of pellets over manual cutting?

Accepted Answer

Automated gravimetric dosing, uniform feeding, elimination of cutting waste, lot-by-lot repeatability and higher quality of the finished product.

Question 36

Does the process degrade EPDM properties?

Accepted Answer

No. The thermal profile is calibrated not to damage the elastomeric matrix. The mechanical properties of the finished material are equivalent to those of the starting raw material.

Question 37

Up to what filler percentage can you go?

Accepted Answer

We routinely process compounds with up to 40-50% CaCO₃ or talc. Above those thresholds mechanical properties and moulding processability require case-by-case validation.

Question 38

What are the benefits of mineral filler?

Accepted Answer

Higher elastic modulus and rigidity, better dimensional stability, lower moulding shrinkage, improved thermal behaviour and a more favourable raw-material cost.

Question 39

Does the filler affect part appearance?

Accepted Answer

Mineral fillers make the compound opaque and slightly less glossy than virgin polymer. Colour can be tuned with masterbatch, but for visible applications evaluations should be made at sampling stage.

Question 40

Can I choose between carbonate and talc?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The choice depends on the spec: talc increases PP modulus and thermal stability; carbonate is cheaper, lowers shrinkage and improves moulding behaviour. The lab guides the choice on the finished product.

Question 41

Do you issue CoA with mechanical values?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The CoA reports MFI, density, flexural modulus and impact properties actually measured on the batch, plus the parameters agreed in the spec.

Question 42

What does “controlled thermodegradation” mean?

Accepted Answer

It is a process in which temperature and residence time are calibrated to modify the cross-linked structure of EPDM only as much as needed to make it reworkable, avoiding destruction of the base properties.

Question 43

How is the process traced?

Accepted Answer

Each batch ships with a CoA and a process sheet certifying the parameters executed, ensuring full traceability for the customer.
