About us

A few polymer families. Mastered, and cut to measure.

Poliplastic is an independent Italian compounder. We do not spread ourselves thin: we work with long-chain polyamides (PA12, PA11, PA612…), fluoropolymers, PEEK and PEBA, and we design every formulation around the customer's process conditions and end application.

Our in-house R&D extruder allows fast iterations on custom grades. As an independent European producer, we kept our customers supplied through the recent polymer shortages, without requalifying new base polymers.

  • ISO 9001:2015 and ISCC PLUS certified
  • Full COA on every batch: DSC, TGA, MFI, cold impact and dimensional tests
  • Direct sales offices and selected agents in Europe, the Americas and Asia
