Premix Blog

Are you interested in getting Premix compounding products from North Carolina, United States? We are proceeding as planned with the greenfield compounding plant project in Apple Creek, North Carolina. The plant building and the local organization are starting to take shape, and we expect to be ready to manufacture the first compounds in the plant in Q1 2025.

We are participating in the Fakuma 2023 exhibition in Friedrichshafen, Germany. You can find us at booth B-4218.

Premix started using Netsuite in late 2019 to manage financial activity. This week (May 24th), our order and delivery handling have moved to Netsuite.

Premix has used recycled plastics in our production for a long time, but now the first time, we can offer certified sustainable products. This spring, our facilities and processes have been audited for the ISCC PLUS certificate, which makes it easier for our customers to create reliably sustainable products.

The year 2021 was, among other things, a year of data. Looking at the scope and quality of the information we nowadays have at an arm's reach, it isn't easy to imagine how we ever managed to live without it. Here is a summary of our "datachievements" up to this point.

Based on the gentle, non-abrasive cleaning achieved with natural fibers, the PRE-PRG™ purging compound reduces downtime significantly.

This article discusses the processing and use of Premix’s electrically conductive plastics in the injection molding process. The electrically conductive PRE-ELEC® grades can be successfully molded with normal processing equipment. However, the processing conditions require particular attention due to their significant effect on the resistivity of the molded product.

This article covers some fundamentals, practical tips, and pitfalls related to the resistance and resistivity measurements of electrically conductive plastics. To achieve the most precise outcome, it is essential that you understand the basic measurement procedure and the key factors causing uncertainties in measurements. In this way, the probability of errors will be decreased, and analyzing the outcome of the measurement will be easier.

This post takes a look at the key element of conductive compounds – carbon black – and how it is used for creating the perfect compound mix.
