In dry blending, plastic granules and desired additives such as color pigments, stabilizers, or fillers are mechanically blended in mixers. The mixture remains free-flowing and can be directly processed further, for example, by extrusion or injection molding. 

Cost savings: No additional compounding step → lower process costs.

Flexibility: Color adjustments or additive additions can be made quickly and on a customer-specific basis.

Short development times: New formulations can be tested immediately without the need for a compounder.

Reduced inventory: statt viele verschiedene eingefärbte Compounds zu lagern, reicht es, Basismaterial + Masterbatch vorzuhalten.

Smooth processing: Since no additional extrusion takes place, the material is subjected to less thermal/mechanical stress (important for sensitive TPU types)

Can be combined flexibly: different TPE types or blends can be easily mixed and processed together.
