What processing methods are suitable for Solvay healthcare plastics?
Our plastics can be processed using all conventional melt processing techniques, with injection molding being the most commonly used method. Most grades can be formed into stock shapes and used in profile extrusion. Many unfilled grades can be extruded into sheet stock for thermoforming. Ixef polyarylamide is the exception to this and is available primarily as injection molding grades. Detailed processing guides are available on our website and cover topics such as mold types, mold design and recommended processing conditions.
