What Mytex Polymers US does

Mytex Polymers US is a custom compounder of high-performance engineered polyolefin materials, including thermoplastic polyolefins (TPOs), filled polypropylene, and specialty olefinic compounds. Founded in 1987 and headquartered in Jeffersonville, Indiana, the company serves manufacturers across automotive (primary vertical), heavy truck, recreational vehicles, marine, industrial and construction equipment, lawn and garden, architectural, household appliances, and specialty packaging segments. Automotive applications span interior parts (dashboards, door panels, airbag deployment components) and exterior parts (bedrail covers, tailgate covers, fascias, grilles, bumper supports). The company's stated value proposition is to replace more expensive engineering alloys (PC/ABS, PC/ASA) with olefinic alternatives that match or exceed performance on cost, weight, scratch and mar resistance, UV stability, and processability.

The company operates a 235,000 sq ft manufacturing facility in Jeffersonville with commercial and developmental compounding lines, SAP-based order management, certified on-site scales, and satellite warehouses. Its proprietary product portfolio is organized into four branded series — DuraFlex (high-gloss, high-surface-durability polyolefins), DynaFlow (TPOs and filled polypropylene for cost-effective performance), MetaForm (high-melt-strength technology for thermoforming and extrusion), and Axiom (advanced additive alloys that extend olefinic compound capabilities) — supplemented by AN, AS, and AX numbered compound families and a custom compounding service offering. Technical support includes 24/7 customer service, onsite field technical service, computer simulation, adhesive and coatings testing, processing support, large-scale prototyping, and direct access to sister company Japan Polypropylene's Product Technical Center in Yokkaichi, Japan.

Mytex is a wholly owned subsidiary of Mitsubishi Chemical Company and operates within a global network of seven sister companies across Mexico, Japan, China, Thailand, India, and Germany. The company sells exclusively through a direct enterprise field sales force with no public pricing; customers must complete a credit application and work with sales representatives to order. The company holds ISO/TS 16949 and ISO 9001 certifications, and has historically operated under the names Chemtrusion, Inc. and MPCI. The legal entity is Mytex Polymers, Inc., incorporated in Indiana, USA.
