NuGen Polymers uses an innovative process known as solid-state shear pulverization (SSSP) to make polymeric materials that cannot be made via conventional processing techniques. SSSP lowers material cost by reducing processing steps. In addition, the materials have superior properties as a result of better break-up and dispersion of additives. NuGens products fall within three distinct areas including engineered materials, recycled plastics, and biobased and biodegradable polymer composites
