What performance factors drive your preference for aluminum or steel in part design? Plastics inherently resist corrosion, eliminating concerns about rust and other forms of oxidation that can compromise metal components. In addition, long fibers form a “3D network” within a molded part; this network supports parts even when a polymer begins to soften (creep), meaning LFTs are an excellent replacement for metal components in portions of the vehicle subject to high stress from extreme temperatures or pressure.

We're a market leader in barrier technologies, form-fill-seal, and thermoformed packaging. We are leaders in developing solutions for Form Fill Seal (FFS) and pre-formed dairy containers. We are leaders in developing solutions for Form Fill Seal (FFS) and pre-formed dairy containers.

What if you could optimize color usage and improve sustainability without disrupting your current molding process? 

We offer a broad range of filler systems, both long and short, and with our design support we can help you rethink what is possible for your applications.

Reduce energy to the blowing lamps allowing preforms to heat faster b. They lend greater control and consistency to reduce blowouts (where bottles fail to form correctly), reduce scrap, and drive improved productivity overall.
