Plastics Additives

Filler, carrier and wax inputs that protect masterbatch margin per kilo.

CaCO₃ masterbatch on a PE carrier, PE / OPE waxes, standard-colour masterbatch and rubber-grade zinc oxide — the additives whose loading economics decide whether a compounding line holds margin or gives it back.

Grades are matched to the carrier resin, mesh and loading-rate band your line already runs. Documentation is REACH-mapped so the new origin clears your supplier-approval workflow without a second pass.

Where a tariff or anti-dumping classification could change the landed cost (TiO₂, certain alumina grades), Serica flags it before the RFQ rather than after the invoice.

QUALIFICATION METHODOLOGY · 5 AXES

How an SKU enters the live portfolio.

Every material is scored qualitatively across five axes before it advances. The radial below is the framework — per-SKU scores are held in the buyer-side dossier.

  • 01
    Supplier Quality
    Producer track record · audit posture · production stability.
  • 02
    Compliance Posture
    REACH posture · TARIC · NSF / food gates · documentation depth.
  • 03
    Logistics Fit
    DG class · packaging integrity · multi-modal feasibility.
  • 04
    Commercial Leverage
    Spread durability · cluster volume · repeat-purchase profile.
  • 05
    Strategic Fit
    Cluster alignment · ICP overlap · monitoring discipline.
