Injection molding PFA, FEP, ETFE and other commercially available fluoropolymer resins is an area of special expertise for Performance Plastics. We have proven success with a number of 8 cavity tools which incorporate hot runner systems, molding critical PFA and FEP parts for the medical, computer printer, lithium ion battery and semiconductor industries.

Direct Gating & Hot Runner Molding of PFA molding with hot runner systems provides several advantages over conventional molding techniques:

• Significant cost reduction due to the elimination of material normally used in the runner system.

• Direct gate locations can provide better dimension and tolerance control.

PFA Seals - provide outstanding chemical resistance and sealing performance for fluids used in the semi-conductor industry.

We have done considerable research and development that has allowed us to be one of the few injection molders in the world that can point to successful implementation of PFA and FEP hot runner molding in multi-cavity applications. Our success comes from our expertise in three critical areas:

• Hot runner system component design
  
• Specially formulated tool steels
  
• Sophisticated processing techniques
