Any company that uses polymers as raw materials is a potential customer. Whether you’re making a simple shopping bag or a high-performance medical device, we can support you with innovative material solutions.
Absolutely! Custom formulation is at the core of what we do. We specialize in developing tailor-made formulations ranging from conventional antioxidant and stabilization packages to highly engineered specialty compounds designed for specific resin systems, processing equipment, and target properties.
Our team works closely with you from concept through development, testing, validation, and scale-up. Every compound, additive package, or formulation is designed around your application, processing conditions, performance requirements, and constraints to ensure it performs reliably in real manufacturing environments.
100%. We love challenges like this, PFAS-free, halogen-free, heavy metal-free, low-VOC, FDA-compliant, sustainable, you name it. We can develop alternative materials that are safer, more sustainable, and regulatory-compliant while maintaining or improving overall performance.

Yes. Customization is one of our core strengths. We design masterbatches based on your required performance, processing conditions, and regulatory or sustainability constraints.
We can produce and ship quantities as low as 1 kg, and even smaller for prototype or preliminary testing. No giant MOQ barriers. Innovation shouldn’t start at 500 kg!
Yes. Today we manufacture through trusted toll & contract manufacturing partners.
Tomorrow, we’ll do it in-house as well.
Either way, you get high-quality, consistent, scalable products.
Zyhecta is led by polymer scientists, chemical engineers, chemists, and materials experts with extensive academic and industrial experience. Many of our team members hold PhDs and have deep expertise in materials research, product development, polymer processing, and engineering.
We are committed to delivering innovative, practical, and scientifically robust solutions.
Of course. We provide services, support, and product shipments to companies worldwide. If your product needs help, distance won’t stop us!

We work with a wide range of polymer systems across commodity, engineering, and high-performance materials. Our focus is selecting, formulating, and modifying polymers that perform reliably in real processing and end-use environments.
Our experience includes:
Polyolefins: PE (LDPE, LLDPE, HDPE) and PP (homopolymers, random and impact copolymers)
Engineering plastics: PA (nylons), PET, PBT, PC, ABS, SAN, POM, PMMA
High-performance polymers: PEEK, PEKK (PAEKs), PPS, PSU/PES/PPSU, LCPs, high-temperature polyamides (PA46, PA6T, PA9T, PA10T), and reinforced composite systems designed for demanding thermal, mechanical, and chemical environments
Biopolymers and bio-based materials: PLA, PBAT, PBS, and related blends
Recycled and circular materials: PCR and PIR polymers with stabilization, compatibilization, and performance restoration strategies
Elastomers and flexible systems: TPOs, TPVs, and impact-modified materials
Filled and reinforced compounds: mineral-filled, glass-fiber, carbon-fiber, and hybrid systems
We routinely work with blends, compounds, and modified systems, tailoring formulations with additive packages to balance performance, processability, cost, sustainability, and regulatory requirements.
Yes! We begin by understanding your application requirements, target performance, and processing conditions. From there, our polymer engineers and materials scientists design, prototype, and test a formulation that meets your needs, followed by validation and scale-up support. You state the need; we handle the science!
Absolutely! We develop a wide range of custom additive masterbatches, including (but definitely not limited to):
Antioxidants and stabilization systems
UV absorbers and light stabilizers
Slip and antiblock systems
Antifog agents
Desiccants
Flame retardants
Processing aids
Nucleating agents
Impact modifiers
Compatibilizers
Odor absorbers
Antistatic agents
Custom functional additives tailored to your specific needs
If you need a unique additive or a specialized combination, that’s even better, let’s build something original!
Absolutely. We can provide high-quality products, reliable supply, and strong technical support.
We don’t want to be just “another supplier”, our goal is to become a long-term, trusted partner for your material needs. We want to be the partner you wish you met 5 years ago!
There is no upper limit. Through our network of toll compounders and CMOs, we scale to any capacity you need, from pilot to full industrial production.
And yes, we’re building our own manufacturing facility too!
Yes. While we continue to build our in-house testing capabilities, we utilize cutting-edge polymer and materials testing facilities through our trusted partner laboratories at leading academic and research institutions for laboratory testing. This includes work conducted at the University of Toronto, University of Waterloo, McMaster University, Queen’s University, Western University, and other research organizations.
Through this model, we deliver a wide range of analytical, mechanical, thermal, and chemical testing and material characterization, paired with expert interpretation to help you make informed material and process decisions.
