 Color Solutions
Color is a great way to enhance your plastic product and build brand recognition. We can color
match virtually any hue or chroma; in addition, we can add functional technologies like light
diffusion or UV protection. Whether you select from our palette of popular, successfully proven
Color solutions, or choose a custom formulation, our experienced colorists deliver consistent
color every time. We offer a wide variety of options, including:
• Precolors • Cube blends
• Masterbatches • Functional additives
If you need guidance with color selection, we have an excellent resource: Hueforia, the Colour
Development Team of RTP Company. Hueforia brings together our color experts, technicians,
and a shared color database to serve as an outstanding resource for designers and marketing
professionals who want to differentiate their plastic products in the marketplace.

Conductive Solutions
We have a broad range of Conductive solutions that provide control of static charge, EMI/RFI
shielding, and thermal management, depending on your application needs. Whether you want
to facilitate conductivity or prevent it, we have a solution for you. Our spectrum of offerings
includes:
• Anti-Static Compounds that prevent accumulation of static charge
• Static Dissipative Compounds to control dissipation of static charge
• Conductive Extrusion Compounds that optimize dispersion and extrusion performance
• EMI/RFI Shielding Compounds that absorb or reflect electromagnetic energy
• Conductive Compounds to provide nearly instantaneous charge decay
• Thermally Conductive Compounds, either electrically conductive or isolative, to manage
heat build-up

Flame Retardant Solutions

Whether you are developing a new product, entering a new market, or need to reformulate
to meet evolving regulations, We can assist with a wide variety of Flame Retardant solutions.
Our Flame Retardant Compounds cover a broad technology platform, including:
• Halogen-free technology
• Halogenated technology
• Technology for over 30+ thermoplastic resins
In addition, our Flame Retardant solutions meet flammability performance specifications and
allow you to obtain regulatory compliance such as:
• UL • Building and Construction
• Transportation • Global standards

High Temperature Solutions

High temperature resins offer better mechanical performance, wear resistance and chemical
resistance than other polymers. We compound these high temperature resins with fillers and
modifiers to provide even more benefits, including:
• Strength and stiffness
• Impact resistance
• Dimensional stability
• Excellent electrical properties at high temperatures
• Ability to withstand extreme conditions
In addition, our high temperature compounds can be modified to meet specific regulatory
requirements, wear and friction specifications, and the precise color you need for aesthetics!

Long Glass Fiber Solutions

Made from continuous fibers that extend the entire length of the thermoplastic pellet, our
Long Glass Fiber Compounds are strong, lightweight, and resistant to impact. These
compounds are excellent material options for replacing metal parts and reducing part weight,
and can be further customized with additives that provide:
• Temperature performance
• Long-term heat aging resistance
• Low VOC/odor release
• UV protection
• Creep resistance
• and more!

Structural Solutions
Structural solutions provide excellent stiffness, strength, impact, and overall toughness –
even in extreme temperatures and corrosive environments. The performance spectrum of our
portfolio spans from cost-optimized commodities to the highest performing Ultra Performance
Compounds, and includes most polymers from Polypropylene to PEEK. Structural integrity
can be predicted and preserved to meet your specific end-use requirements by using
appropriate fillers, reinforcements, and additive technologies,
such as:
• Fibers: Glass, carbon, and natural fibers
• Blends & Alloys: Blends, alloys, and melt- processable performance additives
• Fillers: Talc, mineral, beads, and powder fillers
• Density Modified: Light or heavy; 0.7 g/cm3 to 11.0 g/cm3

 Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE) Solutions
We provide Thermoplastic Elastomer solutions, ranging from off-the-shelf resins to complex
custom compounds. Whether your application requires a soft, tactile feel or tough, durable
performance, our TPE products can be compounded to include a variety of other desirable
properties. Our TPE product offerings include:
• The RTP 2700 Series (SBCs), which provide extremely soft to semi-rigid tactile feel
• RTPrene® (TPV-based), for durable goods applications requiring chemical resistance
and weatherability
• Polabond® and Nylabond® TPEs, for excellent overmolding capability
• Specialty TPEs, custom formulated with functional additives for precise performance

Thermoplastic Polyolefin (TPO) Solutions

Our TPO Compounds are specially formulated to provide the perfect balance of stiffness,
cold temperature impact resistance, and low thermal expansion, making them ideal materials
for parts where weatherability and durability in all conditions is crucial. Our TPO solutions can
be further customized for:
• Specific density • Sustainability
• Scratch resistance • Color and paint-ability
• UV resistance

Wear and Friction Resistant Solutions

Our Wear and Friction Resistant solutions provide optimal performance of mating parts and
materials in motion. We can solve many wear and friction issues such as abrasion, noise,
vibration, sliding, external lubrication, scratches, marring, corrosion, or extreme conditions.
We offer a wide range of thermoplastic compounds, featuring:
• Abrasion Resistance (ABR)
• Buzz, Squeak, and Rattle (BSR) noise reduction
• Glide FactorSM – a solution for stiction
• Internal lubrication to eliminate external lube and secondary operations
• Surface Protection (SPR) for glossy surfaces
• Extreme performance (enhanced mechanicals, temperature and chemical resistance)
