Polymer Processing
National Polymer is highly skilled at various polymer processing methods. As a custom polymer development and manufacturing company, after synthesizing and/or and formulating a custom polymer, custom adhesive, custom coatings, etc., we help our customers take this newly created polymeric material and process it into a finished product, component, or application.
Polymer Processing Capabilities
Our association with the National Polymer Innovation Center at the University of Akron provides us with access to a wide variety of high-end polymer processing equipment. This, combined with our internal capabilities, enhances the value we can bring to the development of polymeric materials for our customers’ specific needs. Some of our processing capabilities include:
- Cast Extrusion
- Polymer Solution Casting
- Blown Film Processing
- Twin Screw Compounding
- Injection Molding
In addition to these traditional plastic processing capabilities, we also have extensive coating capabilities including roll-to-roll coating (R2R coating, roll coating, etc.) using a variety of coating and curing methods. Coating methods include:
- Knife over Roll
- Gravure Roll
- Die Coating
These coatings can be cured using methods such as thermal and UV among others.
We are also adept at various other types of specialty coating including:
- Spin Coating
- Dip Coating
- Electrospinning
- Vapor Deposition
National Polymer also has various mixing and compounding capabilities such as:
- Planetary Mixing
- Sigma Mixing
- 3-Roll Milling
- Dispersion Mixing
- Ball Milling
- Homogenizing
- Ultra Sonic Mixing
Our direct access to such a wide variety of equipment capabilities, coupled with our deep knowledge of polymeric materials and polymer processing methods, makes National Polymer an ideal choice for your processing and scale-up needs.
