PLASTIX polymer supply and control process

From understanding the application to supplying an approved lot

In polymer materials, a similar name or appearance does not necessarily mean the same performance on the production line. At PLASTIX, each request is reviewed against the application, production method, process conditions, monthly consumption and technical sensitivities. A suitable option is then proposed for sampling and trial. Sample records, product and lot codes, test results and subsequent supplies are documented and followed up in the customer file.

Six-stage workflow

Each stage is designed to reduce uncertainty and sourcing risk

The level of control depends on the material and application, but the logic remains the same: a clear requirement, a traceable sample, a real production trial and supply based on documented results.

01

Application and process requirement capture

Understand the requirement

We record the final product, production method, colour, required flow or technical indicators, monthly consumption, target price and quality limitations.

02

Comparison of available supply options

Select the product or production source

PLASTIX inventory and the capacity of partner producers are reviewed to identify the option that best matches the customer’s actual requirement.

03

Maintaining the sample-to-lot link

Code and sample the lot

Each traceable product is registered with a product code and, where applicable, a lot code. A sample linked to the same lot is retained, reviewed or sent to the customer.

04

Control matched to application sensitivity

Check relevant specifications

Depending on the material and application, relevant data may be obtained from the supplier or checks such as melt flow rate, ash content, density, moisture, or other agreed indicators may be coordinated with a producer, compounder, or partner laboratory.

05

Decision based on real production results

Run the customer trial

The sample is tested under the customer’s real production conditions. Material behaviour, usage percentage, machine settings and technical feedback are recorded.

06

Building a repeatable supply route

Supply the approved lot and follow up

After approval, the order is planned against the agreed lot or specifications, and subsequent supplies are followed using the previous records.

Why this is more than simple intermediation

01

Lower mismatch risk

Product selection starts with the production requirement, not merely with what is available for sale.

02

Clear sample-to-lot link

Product and lot codes help identify exactly which sample belongs to which material lot.

03

Learning from every trial

Trial results and technical feedback are recorded so future decisions can be faster and more accurate.

04

Repeatable supply

The objective is not a one-off shipment, but a supply route that can be repeated against approved criteria.

Scope and control criteria

PLASTIX does not currently operate an independent laboratory. The review level is defined by the material type, application, production sensitivity, and the parties’ agreement. When needed, available supplier data is collected or testing is coordinated with a producer, compounder, or partner laboratory. Mentioning MFI/MFR, ash content, or density does not mean these tests are performed on every lot; the final criteria are the agreed specifications and the customer’s real production-trial result.
