Aptiform is a moulding business that has been founded specifically to manufacture components from self-reinforced plastics, based on the results of extensive development work undertaken by NetComposites in collaboration with leading industrial companies and universities.
Aptiform is dedicated to the manufacture of complex components from self-reinforced plastics - a family of materials that offer a unique balance of properties and cost. The unique forming process at last allows OEMs to benefit from the light weight, recyclability, high impact performance and low cost offered by self-reinforced plastics.
We work closely with our customers' purchasing and technical departments by offering prototyping, product development & project planning to facilitate smooth changes in the supply chain. Our expertise also includes finishing, joining, painting and recycling of self-reinforced plastics, allowing the complete supply of finished, assembled components.
Applications
The impact, weight, temperature and recycling characteristics of self reinforced plastics means that they are ideally suited to a wide range of applications in almost all industrial sectors. Moulded self-reinforced plastic technology is already used by leading companies in the following sectors:
- Construction - Shuttering and Formwork
- Sports and Leisure - Luggage; Loudspeaker Cones
- Automotive - Parcel Shelves; Exterior Panels; Liners
- Marine - Personal Watercraft
- Off-Road Vehicles - High-Impact Exterior Panels
- Protective Equipment - Safety Helmets; Ballistic and Injury Protection
Compared to incumbent materials such as GMT, GRP or ABS, self reinforced plastic mouldings typically offer significant performance advantages at similar or reduced costs.
