Colorants, pigments and dyes are dispersed in paints and caulk to provide characteristics such as color, hiding power, bulk, durability and corrosion resistance.
Extrusion includes the manufacture of lengths of cross-sectional shapes and profiles. Extruded products are available in a wide variety of materials and material combinations.
Laminates and laminated materials are made by bonding together two or more layers of material into a finished product. Laminates and laminated materials vary from flexible foil film laminates to rigid circuit board materials.
Molding services create ceramic, composite, glass, rubber, plastic, silicone, or metal parts by combining solids or powders with liquids, or by pressing solid materials or powders into a die or form.
Plastic molding services use a number of different molding techniques to produce components, including thermoplastic and thermoset injection molding, blow molding (includes injection blow molding), rotational molding, thermoforming, structural foam molding, compression molding, resin transfer molding (RTM), and others.
Polymers and plastic materials are organic, synthetic or processed polymers that are supplied as raw materials or stock shapes. They typically consist of thermoplastic or thermosetting resins and can be made into many forms.
Profiles and structural shapes include shaped stock with uniform cross sections such tees, angles or beams manufactured through extrusion, continuous casting, roll forming, and other processes.
Thermoplastics and thermoplastic materials soften when heated and harden when cooled. They can withstand many heating and cooling cycles and are often suitable for recycling.
