Your innovation partner for advanced polymeric solutions
We develop tailor-made specialty polymer compounds, advanced additive systems, and formulations optimized for your processing conditions and application requirements. From concept to scale-up, we work as your formulation partner to create high-performance, sustainable, and cost-effective materials.
Whether you’re working with polyolefins, biopolymers, engineering plastics, or high-performance materials, Zyhecta develops custom polymer compounds designed around your specific application, processing conditions, and performance targets.
We design specialty additive packages tailored to your polymer system, processing conditions, and end-use requirements. Rather than generic masterbatches, our additive systems are engineered as integrated packages to deliver consistent performance, stable processing, and reliable long-term properties.
