China
Array views High Performance Thermoplastics
(HPTP) molding as a portal to high technology industries.
The company has crafted solutions for firms in the electromagnetic
interference (EMI), high voltage electrical connector, semiconductor,
and other high tech industries, as well as more prosaic, but
equally challenging, industries such as food services, dairy
equipment, industrial lighting, and consumer products. Examples
of some of these projects (listed below) illustrate the value
China Array brings to its customers.
| PEEK
Medical Devices
Polyetheretherketone
(PEEK) is an Ultra
Polymer ideally suited to medical applications.
China Array molds medical devices from PEEK that require
dimensional stability, long term resistance to sanitizing
protocols, exceptional toughness and the ability to
interact smoothly with stainless steel components.More. . . .

| Torlon®
polyamide-imide (PAI) Friction and Wear Components
Torlon®
polyamide-imide (PAI) provides the highest strength
and stiffness of any thermoplastic up to 275 C, along
with superior resistance to creep and wear. It has outstanding
resistance to strong acids and most organics, and is
ideally suited for severe service environments. High-strength
grades are well-suited for precision components used
in repetitive-use, load-bearing operations. Wear-resistant
grades provide an effective alternative to metal in
high-temperature friction and wear applications in dry
and lubricated environments. More. . .

| Electromagnetic
Interference (EMI) Shield: Highly Filled Thermoplastic
Finding
a plastic that is injection moldable when filled with
as much as 60% of heavy EMI material is the key to making
an effective shield. China Array's applications engineers
are expert in this field, and have the know how to design
a mold and a process that can handle these highly filled
resins. More. . .

| Milking
Machine Manifold for Commercial Dairies
Chemical
resistant to milk fat and Clean-in-Place (CIP) detergents,
temperature tolerant from – 40 to + 185 degrees F with
high impact and tensile strength, the FDA approved Milk
Manifold must also have dimensional stability, long
term wearability, visual clarity and be able to hold
tight machining tolerances. More

Heat Thermoplastic Protective Globe for Vapor-Lock Lighting
Fixtures to Replace Teflon Coated Glass
China
Array introduces a new high heat thermoplastic vapor-tight
protective globe for industrial light fixtures to replace
Teflon coated glass globes in food, beverage and pharmaceutical
processing applications where containment of shattered
glass is required. More. .

| High
Amperage Connector Housing
Molding
a dimensionally demanding, thin walled high amperage
connector housing from fiber filled resin requires extremely
tight tolerances on the mold, precise control of speed,
pressure and temperature during the injection molding
process, and a thorough knowledge of resin melt and
flow characteristics. More. . .

| Food
Processing Lid: Large Part with Complex Geometry
Working
with SABIC Innovative Plastics, China Array Plastics
selected the optimum food grade of Lexan PC resin for
the new Robot Coupe replacement lid. The resin is well-suited
for filling out large, structural parts – such as the
14 in. diameter lid – while keeping stress low. More. . .

Camera Protective Dome: Optical Molding
China
Array introduces a high-clarity and near-optical quality
camera dome for indoor and outdoor surveillance cameras.
Molded of super-tough Lexan* 143R-111 resin from SABIC
Innovative Plastics, the dome provides a weatherproof
and distortion free enclosure.More. . .
