Custom resin compounders purchase base plastics resins and blend, mix, or reformulate them — often adding colorants, fillers, stabilizers, or performance additives — to meet customer specifications. Some operations also reformulate resins from recycled plastics feedstock. Output is typically pelletized or granulated compounded resin sold to plastics processors, injection molders, or extruders for use in manufactured goods.
