How am I able to create breakthrough materials and solve problems so quickly? That’s a great question – it is because I am a PhD chemist, so I understand materials on a molecular level, plus I am a voracious reader of science. That means I can design new materials intelligently instead of the old trial and error approach. Imagine how much time and money that saves you. Some clients had been frustrated for years, then came to Phantom and got solutions in a matter of days. See the many case studies in the drop-down menus and the New Products Created Page for examples.

I create plastics formulations that outperform in the market. Using 30 years of industry experience, I am able to diagnose your problem and take your performance to the next level. I solve problems even for companies who have hundreds of PhD scientists on staff.

Do you have an issue with thermoplastics like PE, PP, PVC, PET or nylon? Are you looking for the best mineral filler, stabilizer, compatibilizer or processing aid? I create custom recipes for my clients, from the Fortune 100 to the family-owned. As seen on CBS 60 Minutes, the BBC and Sky News. Call now to turn frustration into elation!

Someone suggested that I mention examples, so that people can get a feel for what a top plastics consultant can deliver. While working at BASF’s HQ in Germany, I heard about a serious problem they had struggled with for 30 years. It involved their ABS plastic and they had spent millions trying and failing to solve the problem. My colleagues told me it was hopeless. One day, on my way out of the office to take some holiday, I wrote down 5 ideas for my technicians to try while I was away. I came back from holidays to hear that the first idea had worked. We verified the results, scaled it up and wrote patents to protect it. The managers at BASF were stunned. Many more examples of innovation can be found in the dropdown menus at the top of this page and under New Products Created. In conclusion, this is the place companies come to when they are stuck on a problem.

Customers often ask me “how do we get started?”. First, I have to listen to your problem so I can work out whether I can help. I love hearing problems because it gives me a chance to use my creativity and help people at the same time. If I think I can help you, then I’ll put together a simple offer detailing what the deliverables are and a fixed price so that you know what you are getting, so that there are no surprises.

For longer term, or more complex needs, my clients usually choose to engage me by monthly retainer contract. That has several advantages. Having a retainer in place leads to a closer relationship and the more I understand their needs, the better I can help. Also, when I’m very busy, only retainer clients are guaranteed service. Lastly, retainer clients receive more value for less expense.

If you have a problem, I’d love to hear it. Emails and messages are answered within 24 hours. Why worry about problems when you could be getting answers instead? At Phantom Plastics you will get fast, professional help to give you an edge.
