Materials
Our material portfolio meets a broad range of industry specifications. These can range from commonly extruded materials through to high performance engineering thermoplastics. The material specified is dependent on the application with various materials having inherent properties such as heat resistance, flexibility and stability. Combinations of material are also made possible through our extensive range of capabilities which include co-extrusion and triplex extrusion. The materials mentioned are the more common materials that we extrude and are not extensive. We have developed strong relationships with our suppliers and we are continually trialing new materials.
Applications
Our knowledge and experience in the extrusion of a wide range of material types allows us to match the correct material to the correct application in a broad range of market sectors.
