Compounds & masterbatches
Design and develop polymer blends, compounds, and additive masterbatches for targeted properties and processing requirements. Projects can focus entirely on a formulation for use on your existing production line.
Polymer materials & process engineering
Engineered compounds.
Custom processing lines.
We help companies develop new polymer products and the machines to process them—from laboratory development to pilot plants and industrial production.
Our services
Develop the product. Engineer the process.
XPolymer Technologies provides polymer R&D and engineering for small and medium-sized companies, with collaborative development support for larger organizations.
Bring us a compound that needs better properties, a new product idea, or a processing line that needs to be designed around your material.
Custom processing equipment
Design and build application-specific polymer processing machines and lab-scale lines, with engineering and process development support for pilot plants and large-scale production systems.
R&D collaboration
Support new product development through material selection, formulation trials, process development, and refinement. Engage us for a defined technical project or a broader materials-and-machinery program.
The scope follows your needs: a tailored compound, a dedicated machine, or an integrated development effort connecting both.
Materials & processing experience
A broad polymer foundation.
Our engineering draws on hands-on experience across commodity thermoplastics, engineering polymers, elastomers, and thermoset systems.
Thermoplastics & elastomers
- Polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP)
- Recycled polyethylene terephthalate (rPET)
- Thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs)
- Polylactic acid (PLA) and polycaprolactone (PCL)
- Polystyrene (PS) and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA)
Engineering polymers
- Polyether ether ketone (PEEK)
- Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE / Teflon)
Thermoset systems
- Acrylate systems
- Silicone systems
Processing experience
Selected development work
Materials and machinery in practice.
Our projects connect a specific product need with a formulation or equipment solution built around it.
Compound development / GreenGate3D
Impact-modifying masterbatch for rPET filament
Developed a tailored masterbatch for GreenGate3D, designed to improve the impact performance of 3D printing filament made from recycled PET.
The engagement focused on the polymer compound for the customer's filament application.
Equipment development / XPolymer
A lab-scale filament processing line
Custom development of a 3D printing filament line combining a single-screw extruder, puller, and programmable traverse-and-winder system.
The line brings material development and equipment engineering together for filament processing and prototyping.
From concept to production
A development path built around your project.
01
Define the need
Clarify the product, target properties, processing constraints, and scale.
02
Develop the solution
Formulate the compound, design the machine, or coordinate both.
03
Trial & refine
Use laboratory and process trials to evaluate behavior and refine the design.
04
Plan the next scale
Translate development findings into a path toward pilot and industrial production.
Whether you already have a processing line or need a new one, we align the materials and engineering work with your manufacturing goals.
About XPolymer
Polymer science meets machine development.
XPolymer Technologies LLC was founded by Milad Shamsi, Ph.D., a chemical and biomolecular engineer with experience in polymer formulation, fibers and nonwovens, polymer composites, coatings, compounding, and extrusion process development.
His work connects material behavior with practical processing and equipment design to help companies develop new polymer products and the systems needed to make them.
Your R&D and engineering collaborator
We work with small and medium-sized companies that need focused technical support, and collaborate with larger companies on new product development.
Projects can address a single compound or processing challenge, or span formulation, machine design, and production development.
