Reducing material risk in critical applications
In critical elastomer applications, performance alone is not enough. Customers need confidence that materials are controlled, traceable and supported with the right documentation.
Identify the requirement
Market, application, medium, temperature, exposure time, cleaning and sterilisation conditions.
Screen the compound
REACH/SVHC, RoHS, TSCA, POP, PFAS, CMR/ED, ADI/TSE-BSE and customer restricted substances.
Build the test plan
Food contact, pharma, medical, drinking water, high-purity or technical testing.
Document & control supply
Declarations, test reports where available, CoA/CoC, traceability and change control.
Solutions built around your application
High-performance compounds
Advanced elastomers for demanding sealing environments, aggressive chemicals, high temperatures and critical applications.

Let’s solve your next material challenge together.
What brings you here?
Most customers come to Polycomp with one of six questions. Choose the route that matches yours — each one connects you directly with the right specialist and the right next step.
I have a material challenge
A part fails, ages, swells or doesn’t seal the way it should — and it’s probably the rubber. We analyse the application, the medium and the failure mode, then engineer a compound that solves it.
Solve a material challenge →I need a compliant compound
Food contact, pharma, medical, drinking water or technical standards: we identify the relevant requirements, screen candidate compounds and define the right testing and documentation approach.
Get regulatory support →I know what compound I need
You know the polymer, hardness and specification. We quote quickly, produce in small to medium batches and supply in the shape your process needs — with short, reliable lead times.
Request a compound →I need better processing
Scorch, flow, demoulding or extrusion issues cost output. We tune viscosity, cure behaviour and preform geometry so the compound runs smoothly in your moulding or extrusion process.
Improve processing →I need a specific colour
Identification, coding, appearance or carbon-black-free formulations: our dedicated colour line delivers consistent coloured compounds, matched and repeatable batch after batch.
Explore colour compounds →I need to identify or replace a material
An existing part, an obsolete supplier or an unknown recipe. Our lab analyses the material and we develop an equivalent — or better — compound under controlled change management.
Identify a material →Start with the application. We’ll take it from there.
Describe the part, the medium and the conditions — temperature, exposure time, cleaning or sterilisation. A Polycomp specialist will propose the most direct route to a working solution.

Reducing material risk in critical applications
Performance alone is not enough. Polycomp helps you identify relevant requirements, assess compound suitability, define the right testing approach and document controlled supply.
Four steps from requirement to controlled supply
Identify the requirement
Market, application, medium, temperature, exposure time, cleaning and sterilisation conditions.
Screen the compound
REACH/SVHC, RoHS, TSCA, POP, PFAS, CMR/ED, ADI/TSE-BSE and customer restricted substances.
Build the test plan
Food contact, pharma, medical, drinking water, high-purity or technical testing.
Document & control supply
Declarations, test reports where available, CoA/CoC, traceability, locked formulations and change control.
Documentation that holds up

RDI & compound development
Application-driven formulation by experienced rubber chemists — proven elastomer families first, new options when better.
Testing & validation
Physical, chemical-resistance, ageing and extraction testing to ISO standards, plus failure analysis on damaged parts.
Mixing & milling
Precision mixing of high-performance and specialty compounds in small to medium batch sizes, with in-process controls.
Preforming
Sheets, strips, pellets, granulate, slabs, ropes, profiles and custom preforms — fit for direct use in your process.
Colour line
A dedicated line for consistent coloured and carbon-black-free compounds, matched and repeatable batch after batch.
Controlled production
Fixed recipes, work instructions, trained operators, batch testing before release and full lot traceability.
Tuned for your process
Compression, transfer and injection moulding, and extrusion: viscosity, cure behaviour and preform geometry are engineered so the compound runs smoothly on your machines — with short lead times of 5–10 days.
