Can chemical grafting impart desirable  properties of an expensive plastic onto a less  expensive plastic? 

Yes, the less expensive would then have the  properties of a more expensive plastic resulting in   tremendous cost savings. 

Can chemical  grafting  work on any substrate? 

No, although we have a vast array of activation  monomers, they cannot activate every substrate.  Email us @ info@advancedpolymersolutions.com  for a complete list of substrates which can not be  grafted

Can my company patent the formulation once ?

Yes, you will own the formulation, we will assist in  obtaining your patent.
