|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A variety of materials can be added into the polymer powder prior to processing, this can used to | Bulk, condition the materials particular additives give the materials anti-static propitiates make the material flame retardant or resistant to ultra violet light.

| Plasticiser | They are added to improve the flow properties of plastics when moulded. They reduce the softening temperature and go some way to making the material less brittle.
🗑
