High Performance Thermoplastics (HPTP)
represent the pinnacle of performance in the plastics industry. Used in applications that require a combination of extraordinary properties (thermal stability, chemical and radiation resistance, superior mechanical properties, dimensional integrity, wearability and strength),
HPTP's occupy high-end niches in markets as diverse as:

Ultra Polymers, a new category of thermoplastics with properties that exceed even those of HPTP's, have incredible thermal properties (sustained use at temperatures of 500 degrees F), which when combined with other exceptional properties place them in another performance category all together. China Array's engineers are at the cutting edge of Ultra Polymer applications.

®Ultem, Valox and Lexan are tradenames of Sabic Innovative Plastics.


Molding High Performance Thermoplastics in China

China Array Plastics, is one of the only full service custom injection molders of High Performance Thermoplastics (HPTP) in China. It has engineering offices in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, USA and a wholly owned, state-of-the-art injection molding facility in Wuhan, China.

The company molds PEEK medical devices, highly filled PBT electromagnetic interference (EMI) absorbers for wireless communications cells, HPTP dental tools, PSU dairy and food processing equipment, PPSU manifolds for FDG distillation for PET Scans, optical quality LEXAN PC surveillance camera domes, VALOX PBT high amperage electrical connectors, TORLON friction wear disks and a variety of other performance polymers.

China's First Certified TORLON Molder

Engineering

Most High Performance Thermoplastics were developed in the US and Europe at such firms as GE Plastics (now Sabic Innovative Plastics), Solvay Advanced Polymers, and BASF. China Array's HPTP Applications Engineers come from GE Plastics, where they helped developed and commercialize many of that firm's High Performance Thermoplastics applications. They control the manufacturing process from original design through finished product to insure comprehensive quality control and, equally important, protection of customers' intellectual property.


Injection Molding HPTP's

The chemical complexity, extremely high melt temperatures and unusual molding characteristics of high performance thermoplastics impose rigorous requirements on an injection molder: HPTP engineering, specialized equipment, processing expertise, stringent quality control protocols and protection of intellectual property, to name a few. China Array is dedicated to molding high performance thermoplastics.


Molds


Molds for Production & Prototypes


HPTP's high molding temperatures are unforgiving of molds. The steel, design, workmanship, and tight tolerances of China Array's molds are critical to HPTP molding. The company adheres to the Society of the Plastics Industry (SPI) Mold Standards & Classifications. CNC/EDM machining centers, precision measuring instrumentation, and advanced CAD/CAM software allow construction of complex, sophisticated production molds. The company also offers stripped down, low cost prototype molds.

Post Molding Operations & Accessories

Accessories

Since 1980, China Array has been manufacturing precision industrial components for the dairy and food processing industries. The company has decades of experience in the machining, fabrication and polishing required for post molding operations and production of high quality, non-plastic accessories. The firm draws on a broad network of trusted vendors within the manufacturing community for advice and/or outsourcing of specialized products and services.

Wuhan, China

China's Industrial Heart Land

China Array's production facilities are located in Wuhan, China: the capital of Hubei Province and China's fifth largest city with a population of eight million. Known as the 'Thoroughfare to Nine Provinces", Wuhan is approximately 400 miles from Shanghai in the east, Zhongqing in the west, Hong Kong in the south and Beijing in the north. The city straddles the Yangtze River at the nexus of the main river, rail and highway routes running north/south and east/west across China. It is perfectly situated for supplying customers within China or reaching coastal ports for export.


CAD/CAM

Computer Aided Design (CAD) & Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM)

China Array's US and Chinese offices are outfitted with identical CAD/CAM systems (ProEngineering and MasterCam9), which can handle virtually all customer drawing formats. Collaborative web conferencing allows engineers at different sites to work simultaneously on projects utilizing digital video and photography to communicate product development, mold construction and injection molding processing issues between parties.

 

Mission Statement: To provide customers expert engineering, design and materials advice , and a fully integrated molding operation for a consistently superior product at a competitive price.
