Additives Used with Plastics
All plastics contain one or more polymers, in addition to additives. Usually, polymers are not sold without some form of additive compounded into them. In the thermoplastics industry, it is commonly understood that the materials used also have small amounts of additives in them. An example of these thermoplastics are heat stabilizers and lubricants, which cannot be commercially used when additives have not been added.
