  • Polymeric resins may be used in melt processing, in which the polymeric resin is melted down and processed to form, for example, molded articles, monofilament fibers, or polymer films.
  • Commercial products can also be formed from polymeric films, such as for packaging or protective layers.

  • thermoplastic polymeric resin which may incorporate various mineral fillers, such as calcium carbonate, during production of fibrous products, polymeric films, and molded parts.
