Formulation / Masterbatch / Compound additives
Drawing on our know-how in developing the formulation of materials, we design our own range of tailor-made masterbatches or compounds.
We can also work on a contract basis for certain clients or principals.
Do you have a need?
We offer you the ability to design your masterbatches on numerous polymer bases: ABS, PE, PP, PET, PBT, PLA, PA, PS, Bio

Training Technical Support
Does your staff have little or no training in plastics processing?
Do you want to improve your skills?
Lab Plastics offers adapted training modules:
> Raw materials module (what is extruded plastic)
> Additives module (why additives)
> Film Extrusion module (understand the machine process)
> Film Extrusion Module fault / cause Consequence / how to correct them
> Laboratory test module

In-house or in-company, our training adapts to the level of your staff.

Our training courses include practice (we have a laboratory extruder) and are very operational.
These training courses are recognized by the OPCO 2I.

Quality / R&D / Prototyping laboratory
Our laboratory allows you:
– Analyze the quality of your products for validation.
– Analyze the causes of production defects (cause tree).
– To carry out research on materials.

We regularly test new additives and we are able to carry out rapid prototyping.
Our analysis laboratory offers a responsive and local service.

Polytopoly, founded in 2018, streamlines the sourcing of recycled plastics for manufacturers facing environmental constraints. The platform, www.polytopoly.com, connects manufacturers with recyclates flows, offering access to 600+ analyzed recycled polymers. Based in Orléans, Polytopoly’s certified laboratory ensures the quality of recycled materials through rigorous testing. The platform, catering to construction, packaging, and automotive sectors, provides comprehensive services like research, supply security, and waste flow optimization. With selection criteria such as material specifications and regulatory data, Polytopoly facilitates standardized exchanges between recyclers and converters. Acting as a trusted third party, the platform advises recyclers based on sample analysis, suggesting product improvements. Initial tests on small batches precede regular supplies, and downstream checks guide end-users in formulating balanced recycled/virgin ratios. Polytopoly contributes to sustainable plastic production by providing a user-friendly platform, diverse selection criteria, and expert guidance.

Polytechs is an Independent French producer of specialty compounds & masterbatches since 1980. The company has a production capacity of more than 42 000T split between 18 industrial & pilot lines – working in both Extrusion (twin screws ; Co-kneaders) and Compaction activities. More than 160 people work there on 24/7 basis under the standard of ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001. Polytechs is as well proudly recognized by the Ecovadis label as Silver medal and by the World Customs Organization as Authorized Economic Operator (AEO).

Polytechs does generate a turnover of 35 millions Euros across two activities – the first one is its Toll Compounding services, working for the major petrochemical brands in Europe as well as the top players in polymer compounding and plastic conversion markets. The second activity is the production and selling of its own product brands – worldwidely known such as PW® cling masterbatch or Clean Xpress® purging compounds – but as well as its peroxide masterbatches, PFAS and PFAS-Free PPA masterbatches or its XW blowing agents. These brands deliver surface modification and productivity solutions to mainly the flexible packaging industry, the wire & cable actors and the pipe & tubes market. 65% of the sales are made outside France.
