Post-moulding services

We offer a wide range of finishing services, some of which are part of our quality control and inspection process such as cleaning and leak testing and others, such as welding and heat staking, that we undertake during assembly. Other value-added services include EMC and RFI coating, sterilisation and product printing.

Protective coatings

Following the injection moulding process we can apply a wide range of coatings to your components such as anti-fog and anti-static coatings as well as coatings required for medical devices to pass EMC tests. These include shielding coatings that protect against RFI/EMC (radio frequency interference) from other equipment in hospitals, operating theatres and other healthcare settings and ESD (electrostatic discharge) for patient safety.

Sterilisation

Even if they have been manufactured in a cleanroom environment, medical components and devices may often need to be sterilised. We can carry out sterilisation through our partners.

Welding and heat staking

Our welding machines give a strong seal across a wide range of polymers without the need for adhesives or solvents. We offer heat staking to join plastic to other materials too.

Printing

Pad printing, also known as tampo printing, is used to transfer images onto a wide variety of complex 3D shapes and geometries using a silicone pad.

We have 4-colour pad printing for general industry applications and single colour printing within our cleanroom for printing on medical devices that are used both in and out of the operating theatre, in dental, orthopaedic and surgical applications.

Post process systems and component testing

We can carry out a range of different tests following assembly. These include system leak tests, vacuum testing and electronic testing.

Component washing and ultrasonic cleaning

We have a fully automated high-volume component washing system. We have invested heavily in our component washing technology and now have 2 machines. Ultrasonic cleaning removes particulates and contaminants from the components and also anneals the polymer.
