Special Polymers provide strength and Design, Manufacturing Flexibility

Arrow Engineering have been manufacturing parts in special Polymers for many applications specifically in the Pharmaceutical, Food / Baking, Bottling and Brewing industries.These special impregnated PTFE and Graphited polymers therefore they are a great alternative sometimes to parts manufactured in Metal. 

Polymers weigh less, they don’t corrode and are less expensive than metal made parts. Primarily they are much less expensive to produce because they allow more flexibility within the design and manufacturing process. 

Thus less complex machining operations, for example, no coolant necessary and less wear on tooling and longer tool life. Special impregnated Polymers provide comparable high tensile strength to metals and have the advantage of being lighter in weight. 

Many aerospace, automotive and railway applications have replaced metal parts with plastics and special polymer manufactured parts.Besides being able to machine Polymers. Arrow also have 3D printing capabilities which enable one off prototype’s to be made before investing in large batch quantities.
