Because of its good mechanicals, esthetics, transparency and cleanliness, Polyester (PET) is increasingly being used as replacement of other polymers in Injection Molding applications.
One of the driving forces behind this development is the fact that PET is a very sustainable raw material. It is in most applications fully recyclable, and also as a recycled material, approved for direct food contact applications. Furthermore, it is BPA, Phthalate and acrylonitrile free.
Tailor-made polyesters for Injection Molding applications
We customize polyesters by giving them special characteristics. For example, we modify several CumaPET types to achieve improved flow, improved transparency, reduced crystallization speed, reduced mould-shrinkage, high stiffness etc.
Circular applications
The circular economy will reinforce the value of polyester as it can be upcycled efficiently and brought back in highly qualified applications. Many Injection Molding applications present excellent opportunities for the use of recycled materials.
DuFor has also developed several rPET types, which are based on post-consumer polyesters, which meet specific requirements for injection molding applications.
Typical markets where our raw materials are being used, are:
Automotive
Consumer Goods
Electronics
Medical and Health Care
Reusable Packaging
Industrial applications
Building and Construction
Custom-made solutions
DuFor is partnering with for the distribution of DuFor’s polyester specialties in the Injection Molding market. Both companies share the same philosophy to provide high quality products combined with expert technical consultation and to build and maintain long-term relationships.
