Materials

As concerns the raw materials that are used, the palette is extremely broad given that we are able to form all the commonly used heat-sensitive plastics. Nearly a half of the processed materials are conductive materials, which our partners prefer to use on ESD protected production lines. The maximum dimensions of the processable polymer is 2000x1500 mm, while the thickness can range between 0.15 mm to 14 mm depending on the parameters of the product to be manufactured.
