Compatibilizers

Compatibilizers are special substances added to blend different types of plastics that normally don’t mix well, like oil and water. They improve the bonding between the materials, making the mixture more uniform and stronger. This helps in creating composite materials with combined properties, such as better durability or flexibility. Think of compatibilizers as mediators that help incompatible materials work together smoothly, resulting in a more stable, functional product. They’re commonly used in recycling or manufacturing to produce mixed-material products with improved performance.
