• Purchasing - Reduced number of materials purchased resulting in less paperwork, more efficient sourcing, and lower freight costs.
  • Inventory - Reduced complexity, fewer individual raw materials resulting in a more efficient warehouse and easier tracking of first-in first-out inventory.
  • Raw Material Maintenance - Reduced materials testing, MSDS filing, COA filing and raw material specifications.
  • Compound Staging Area - Fewer raw materials resulting in fewer weigh-up errors, less clean-up, reduced labor costs. No loss of chemicals from dust and better dispersion results in the potential to reduce the amount of chemicals used.
  • Mixing - Faster mix cycles, reduced energy consumption. The lower melt point of dispersions allow for a melt dispersion into the compound as opposed to mechanical dispersion.
  • Processing Line - The use of dispersions results in more consistent, homogeneous compounds from the mixer which in turn results in more consistent product from the processing lines.
  • Final Product - Improved appearance, high quality and less scrap.
