Mixing/Preparation

The Mixing/Preparation stage covers the preparation of the plastic material for further processing. There is currently limited information for this Production Stage and the process option below is used for all Plastic materials.

• Master batch blending and compounding, plastics is the default selection and should be used unless there is no preparation step to mix the plastic compound. This process should remain selected regardless of mixing method. “None” should only be selected if there is no preparation and mixing process.
