Mastery of plastics

Our expertise allows us to work with a wide range of engineering plastics, each offering unique properties suited to specific applications:

• TEFLON (PTFE - Polytetrafluoroethylene)
This material is renowned for its very low coefficient of friction and its resistance to extreme temperatures (up to 260 °C). It is chemically non-reactive, making it ideal for applications in the medical and chemical fields or for components requiring minimal lubrication. It is currently the material we use the most.

Applications:

Electronics: cable and electrical component insulators.
Aerospace: connector insulators and protective materials subjected to high stress.
Aeronautics: anti-friction components such as bushes or seals.
• POM, (polyoxymethylene)
Also known as acetal or Delrin (registered trademark), this is a high-performance engineering thermoplastic with high mechanical strength and a low coefficient of friction. It offers outstanding dimensional stability, even in demanding environments, and is resistant to many solvents and fuels. Operating temperature range: -50 °C to +100 °C.

Applications:

Electronics: connectors and electrical insulators.
Industrial: moving parts (bearings, bushes) and structural parts.
Consumer goods: domestic appliances.
Medical: precision parts requiring high reliability.
• PEEK (Polyether ether ketone)
PEEK is a high-performance polymer that withstands high temperatures (up to 250 °C) and aggressive chemical environments. It offers an ideal combination of rigidity, lightness and strength, making it highly valued in the medical sector (e.g. for implants) and in aerospace.

Applications:

Medical: implants or prostheses.
Aerospace: engine parts or fairings subjected to extreme temperatures.
Industrial: equipment parts subjected to mechanical stress.
• PA/PA66 (Polyamide)
Polyamide is a family of thermoplastic polymers, commonly known as nylon, that offers high mechanical strength and is ideal for parts subjected to heavy stress. With excellent thermal stability, in addition to low moisture absorption and outstanding chemical resistance, PA/PA66 is valued for its versatility and performance in demanding environments.

Applications:

Electronics: connectors and insulators for electrical circuits.
Industrial: used in structural parts and equipment requiring high durability.
Aeronautics: suitable for demanding environments, in particular owing to its robustness.
• PVC (Polyvinyl chloride)
PVC is known for its good chemical resistance and mechanical strength. Lightweight and cost-effective, it is often used in applications requiring electrical insulation or resistance to moisture. It is perfectly suited to connector parts or environments exposed to corrosive agents.

Applications:

Electronics: connectors and insulators for electrical circuits.
Automotive: cable sheaths and insulating covers.
• TORLON (PAI - Polyamide-imide)

Quality control

our zero-defect promise

As an ISO 9001-certified company, we place particular emphasis on quality through rigorous processes:

  • Use of statistical methods (machine capabilities: cm, cmk; process capabilities: cp, cpk).
  • Meticulous unit inspection and sorting, performed manually under a binocular microscope by experienced technicians to ensure optimum quality.
  • Compliance with tight tolerances, particularly in aerospace (down to 0.03 mm, and 0.02 mm for PEEK).
  • • Hot and cold part cleaning to ensure the stability of our parts.

 

Zero defect quality (Zero PPM (Parts Per Million)) is our target, and thanks to 100% inspection by a metrology department equipped with high-end instruments (Keyence systems, surface roughness tester, contour measuring device, height gauge, 3D cameras, etc.), we can guarantee full conformity of all manufactured parts, regardless of their technical requirements or the specific tolerances involved.

Thanks to these state-of-the-art tools combined with the expertise of our skilled technicians, we identify and correct any potential deviations or variations in real-time. This rigor enables us to maintain a high standard of quality for our plastic parts, meeting the strictest standards of demanding sectors and fully satisfying our clients' expectations.

Furthermore, our processes include:

  • Deburring and manual polishing, ensuring the perfect finish of our parts.
  • Manual sorting of chips for recycling, maximizing their reuse.
