Our extrusion capabilities take the pressure off, running trials with standard polymer or your bespoke material and developing this into full production.
Using our Boy & Arburg injection moulding machines, we are able to mould test-pieces in-house, allowing for the subsequent characterisation and development of mechanical, thermal, electrical, antimicrobial etc properties. This ensures a streamlined and efficient development process for customer specific projects.
As part of our developmental process, we are able to offer detectable masterbatches for silicone and rubber, which embed metal and/or X-ray detectable properties into the end material. Such masterbatches are manufactured from a range of well refined detectable additives which have been proven to seamlessly combine with a wide range of existing base materials including NBR, SBR, natural rubber and silicone.
Whatever your materials challenge, we will provide the solution.
We believe that we are the best people to manufacture our products and while we are happy to work with compounders, we have the in-house capabilities to meet most masterbatch requirements with capacity of up to 2 tonnes per shift.
Our 30mm extruder has beenheavily modified for running particularly troublesome materials while a Thermo Fisher bench-top lab extruder is on hand for small trials and ongoing research & development.
We also have two injection moulding machines with a variety of tools to produce test plaques for antimicrobial testing, dog-bones for tensile testing and bars for impact testing.
For silicone mixing we utilise two Winkworth z-blade mixers and a lab-scale 2-roll mill.
