INJECTION MOULDING
Italian firm specializes in silicone moulding
"A chemical bond between the atoms of silicone and oxygen gives silicone rubbers unique properties compared with traditional elastomers," says Marzia Spolti, export sales manager at Tecnotrex S.p.A. (Sarnico, Italy). The company exhibited at the Midest show in Paris.
Nontoxicity, excellent ozone and UV resistance, and chemical inertness are among the attractive characteristics of silicone-based compounds. Notes Spolti, "Tecnotrex translates these properties into high-quality products, and we are able to satisfy the highest safety and health standards."
Complete product development services, including compression moulding, injection moulding, and extrusion, are offered by the firm, which supplies gaskets and other components to the medical industry. The company, which operates in a 5000-m2 production facility, is certified to ISO 9002.
