Systems and methods are provided for compounding a thermoplastic melt for molding articles, the melt being reinforced with reinforcing fibers. The thermoplastic material is plasticized with an adhesion promoting agent to obtain an initial melt to which the reinforcing fibers are added. The thermoplastic material forms bonds to bond reception sites on the reinforcing fibers to obtain an intermediate melt to which one or more desired additives, such as a colorant, are then added to obtain the final melt. By forming the intermediate melt without the presence of the one or more desire additives, competition between the one or more desired additives and the thermoplastic material for the bond reception sites is prevented, as is damage to the reinforcing fibers from abrasives in the one or more desired additives. Articles molded with the resulting final melt have improved mechanical properties compared to articles made with prior art methods and systems.
