Prime Materials Launches “The Prime Four” to Safeguard Manufacturers Against Supply Chain Disruptions
Uxbridge, MA – October 2025 – Prime Materials, a full-stock distributor serving the plastics, rubber, adhesives, and coatings industries, has announced the launch of its new campaign: The Prime Four – Slips, Stearates, Waxes, and Plasticizers.
These four categories of additives are essential to modern manufacturing, yet they are often at the center of supply chain delays and shortages. Prime Materials is addressing this challenge directly by keeping all four stocked and ready to ship in days, not weeks.
The Prime Four in Focus:
Slips – The Flow Masters: Provide anti-block properties, prevent sticking, and ensure smooth processing.
Stearates – The Stabilizers: Protect against degradation, improve consistency, and enhance mold release.
Waxes – The Efficiency Boosters: Reduce energy use, improve dispersion, and make recycled materials processable.
Plasticizers – The Flexibility Providers: Deliver durability and flexibility for critical applications in automotive, medical, and construction.
“Most manufacturing disruptions can be traced back to shortages in one of these four categories,” said Bryan Wiegers of Prime Materials. “By keeping The Prime Four fully stocked, we give our customers peace of mind and the confidence that their production won’t stop.”
Prime Materials brings more than 50 years of expertise to the market, combining technical knowledge with the reliability of a family-operated business. With no minimum or maximum order requirements, the company provides flexible solutions for manufacturers across plastics compounding, recycling, masterbatch, adhesives, and beyond.
