About Us

Plastic Flow, LLC was established in 2002 to offer the PELDOM software to the plastic industry. PELDOM is the only software which can simulate a polymeric flow with completely independent shear and elongational viscosities for the polymer. This novel and unique software is based upon Prof. Mahesh Gupta's polymer processing research since 1987. The dedication and innovative skills of Prof. Gupta and his graduate students has resulted in many of the world's first polymer processing simulations.
