Spurred by the urge to develop new products and applications based on common plastics materials and innovative use of various additives available, the Manas group has develped a number of new technologies indigenously. These include processes for mixed film laminate recycling, crosslinked polyethylene foams, grafted modified polymers, polymers for alloys and blends, wood-plastics composites, and synthetic paper compounds suitable for film making.

In 1993, Pluss Polymers was incorporated to commercialise the technology for grafted modified polymers and alloys & blends.

Backed by competent technical staff, comprehensive laboratory facilities, a good library and a technical database with a retrievable wealth of information. PLUSS^® began marketing the OPTIM^® brand of grafted polymers for the first time in India in 1996. These compatibilisers find use in commodity plastics to enable them compete with engineering polymers. In engineering polymers, OPTIM^® further enhances performance. Certain applications only become possible due to the addition of these chemically modified polymers. The ADNYL^® range of nylon alloys provide the user with extra tough nylon for increased strength. Synthetic Paper Compound for multilayer films is the latest addition in PLUSS^® range of products.
