Polyetheretherketone (PEEK)
A high-performance thermoplastic known for exceptional strength, chemical resistance, and sterilization compatibility. This material is ideal for medical devices, surgical instruments, and demanding mechanical applications.
Glass-Filled Nylon
A reinforced engineering polymer that provides enhanced stiffness, strength, and heat resistance, making it ideal for structural components, gears, and precision mechanical parts.
Polyetherimide (Ultem)
A heat- and chemical-resistant thermoplastic offering excellent dimensional stability and flame retardancy, perfect for sterilizable medical components and high-performance engineering parts.
Plastic Injection Molding
Plastic molding is a repeatable thermoplastic manufacturing process that produces high precision and tight tolerance components. Injection molded components can be produced from a wide range of thermoplastic, polymer, and elastomers with varying cost and performance factors. Relucent can assist your engineering team with data to narrow the choices that best suit your application.
Insert Molding
Insert molding is a highly versatile and efficient manufacturing process that combines metal or plastic inserts with molded plastic parts in a single operation. This technique is widely used to enhance the functionality, strength, and aesthetic of various components. During the insert molding process, pre-formed inserts—such as metal pins, bushings, or other components—are placed into a mold cavity. Molten plastic is then injected into the mold, encapsulating the inserts and forming a cohesive unit.
Overmolding
Overmolding is a critical manufacturing process that involves applying a “soft touch” elastomer onto a plastic substrate, enhancing both the aesthetics and functionality of devices. This technique forms a strong, durable bond between two different polymers, achieved through either chemical or mechanical methods, depending on the materials and design specifications.
