Recover
Recovered carpet and other material streams offer a starting point for new compounds.
03 / ABOUT PRO COMPOUNDS
I’m Alex Shirdel. After 25 years in manufacturing, distribution, and sales, I wanted to build something with a lasting purpose. Over the years, we built relationships with major retailers and supported our partners through changing market conditions. As retailers increasingly shifted to direct overseas sourcing, I saw the need for a new direction—one focused on strengthening American manufacturing and creating opportunities here at home. Created by ProMounts, Kian Group is Pro Compounds’ manufacturing wing. We connect plastic molding companies with upcycled PA6 and PA66 nylon compounds, bringing manufacturing expertise and material solutions to American businesses. My goal is to help bring jobs and manufacturing opportunities back to America. I want our children to inherit more than the challenges we faced: I want the next generation to have the skills, opportunity, and confidence to build their future here at home.
“We only make products that we would use in our daily lives.”
THE PROMOUNTS PRINCIPLE
03 / THE UPCYCLING APPROACH
A route from recovered resources to new applications, guided by polymer expertise and practical material evaluation.
Recovered carpet and other material streams offer a starting point for new compounds.
Material selection, reinforcement, and formulation are guided by the properties your application needs.
Evaluate technical data and samples against your own processing conditions and performance targets.
02 / FIND YOUR GRADE
We work with plastic molding companies to evaluate materials for their applications. Share your part requirements, molding process, target properties, and production volume.
Explore our manufacturing wing ↗
Compare PA6 and PA66 grades using the technical properties required for your molded part.
Discuss glass reinforcement, impact modification, surface finish, and the operating conditions your part must withstand.
Request technical data and samples to evaluate the compound in your own molds and processing conditions.
