The evolution of plastic materials

Generic and non-generic materials

Compound

LIMA can process both generic materials and materials covered by a registered trademark. If the customer specifically requires parts made from plastic material covered by a registered trademark, LIMA will source directly from the company holding the trademark.

Depending on the desired characteristics, it is possible to add to the virgin material antistatic agents, conductive additives, colorants, plasticizers, adhesion agents, fillers, reinforcing agents, blowing agents, antioxidants, antibacterial agents, reinforcing fibers, flame retardants, stabilizers, and slipping agents.
All of these substances are referred to as compounds.
