Custom Compounds
As a trusted producer of colour and additive masterbatches, we apply the same level of quality and expertise to the manufacture of custom compounds. Investments in modern extrusion technology enable us to manufacture large lot compounds with precision and efficiency. Integration of our high-quality masterbatches provides complete colour control and a huge range of polymers can be processed thanks to underwater pelletising.
Broadway’s precision compounds
From our 90,000 ft² facility, we produce consistent, high-performance plastic compounds with the efficiency and scale to meet high-volume demand with short lead times. Our compounding expertise supports a wide range of polymers – including soft, brittle, and highly filled materials. Underwater pelletising ensures uniform pellet quality across all polymer types.
Advanced feed integration enables precise handling of multiple constituents, allowing for complex formulations with high concentrations of colour, additives, and fillers. With integration of our high-quality colour masterbatches, we maintain full control of colour development in house, delivering exceptional accuracy and repeatability.
We offer bio-filled compounds, bio-based polymers, and recycled grades to support evolving sustainability requirements. Our in-house technical team is available to guide your material development and formulation optimisation, while our dedicated regulatory division ensures compliance with the standards you require.
Plastic compounds are often the preferred choice for moulders when colour and additive precision are critical, or when processing highly filled materials. Using pre-compounded materials can improve consistency, reduce dosing errors, and streamline production – especially useful in demanding or tightly controlled applications or where maintaining compliance is a must. We support the needs of specialist industries with tailored, high-performance compound solutions.
We also offer toll compounding services and work with leading material innovators, assisting the development of novel materials and scaling production to industrial volumes.
We can compound the following polymers
PPCO, PPHO, HDPE, LDPE, PET, ABS, SAN, HIPS, PBT, GPPS, PA6, PA66, PETG, TPU, PLA, PMMA, ASA, PC and PC/ABS.
We’ve worked with a number of customers to deliver custom compounds for specific requirements. Our Special Project Team review any niche enquiries and work with our technicians to explore solutions. We always take a flexible approach and work with each customer in a way that suits them. Recent improvements to our R&D capabilities allow the continual development of new additive compounds and masterbatches and the efficient development and testing of bespoke materials.
Our stocked masterbatch range offers 122 colours and the flexibility of a universal carrier system, so if you need a colour compound quickly, we can compound any of these colours in the material of your choice. Please call our friendly team for more information on compatibility and pricing.
When purchasing compounds from Broadway, our customers can expect the same efficiency, value, attentive service and colour accuracy that we deliver when providing masterbatches.
