bespoke fabrications
Thermoforming fluoropolymers
We produce custom fabrications made from PTFE, FEP, PFA & PVDF tubing, heat shrink sleeving and sheet to your precise requirements.
We offer innovative solutions to the many design problems you encounter. Using combinations of custom manufacturing techniques in conjunction with our thermoforming processes, we can produce almost any component in fluoroplastics at relatively low cost.
We manipulate fluoroplastics into complex profiles using custom manufacturing processes we have developed over the years. Our manufacturing processes are particularly economic with small and medium volumes, compared with conventional plastics processing.
We can flange, flare, coil, bend and cut all our fluoropolymer tubing and heat shrink products to your specific design requirements.

The benefits of thermoforming fluoropolymers
Thermoforming is a plastic moulding technique where fluoropolymers are manipulated into complex profiles; any size, shape or form is possible.
Case study: FEP square profile components
We were approached by a client to create a rectangular profile component using a fluoropolymer. The project included critical elements and constraints.
The use of formed PTFE sheets in varied applications
PTFE sheets are one of our most recent developments, and like our specialist fluoropolymer tubes and rods, they are highly effective in a variety of business scenarios.
