The processing of plastic materials encompasses a wide range of techniques, involving different steps and different machinery.
The methods for obtaining semi-finished plastic products vary according to the type of plastic material used, the function it has to fulfil and the sectoral context in which it is placed.
ATAG SpA adopts the main existing methods at its production site in Mussolente (Vicenza) to shape finished plastic products required by a wide variety of sectors, from medical technology to aerospace.
Plastic materials, both new generation and traditional, play a crucial role in the technological development of a company because, thanks to their properties, they can create an incredible variety of products without altering the basic characteristics of the polymer.
In modern industry, plastic materials represent an alternative solution to other metals, providing numerous advantages:
🔴 weight reduction
🔴 no corrosion
🔴 lower noise emissions
🔴 thermal insulation
🔴 ability to function in emergency situations
An example of the precision machining carried out by ATAG on plastics are thermoplastic technopolymers, which resist up to 150°C, maintaining excellent mechanical properties, dimensional stability and chemical resistance.
There are also plastics that can withstand more than 150°C, which are reinforced with glass fibres, carbon or other elements in order to improve their rigidity and thermal stability.
The main applications of these materials (including PTFE) include the production of mechanical components subjected to high friction stresses in the electrical engineering sector.
What are the advantages for an industrial business in choosing a supplier such as ATAG with its own in-house production facility for semi-finished plastic products?
🔴 Competitive prices
🔴 Full control of the entire production cycle, both for standard and customised products
🔴 High efficiency, with guaranteed fast delivery times
In addition, ATAG experts support its customers both commercially and technically and provide professionalism and experience to enable you to develop new industrial applications.
ATAG is your trusted supplier, but will also be your advisor in choosing the best finished plastic components for your business.
