A RADICAL MATERIALS BRAND +44 (0) 1495 211400 Home X-Ray Detectable Metal Detectable Manufacturing Material Testing News & Updates Contact Manufacturing Capabilities Our in manufacturing capabilities include house extrusion and mixing facilities, enabling us to react swiftly to customer requirements and maintain precise control over our proprietary formulations. Polymer Extrusion, Compounding & Moulding Our extrusion capabilities take the pressure off, running trials with standard polymer or your bespoke material and developing this into full production. Using our Boy & Arburg injection moulding machines, we are able to mould test-pieces in-house, allowing for the subsequent characterisation and development of mechanical, thermal, electrical, antimicrobial etc properties. This ensures a streamlined and efficient development process for customer specific projects. Silicone & Rubber Compounding As part of our developmental process, we are able to offer detectable masterbatches for silicone and rubber, which embed metal and/or X-ray detectable properties into the end material. Such masterbatches are manufactured from a range of well refined detectable additives which have been proven to seamlessly combine with a wide range of existing base materials including NBR, SBR, natural rubber and silicone. Whatever your materials challenge, we will provide the solution. On-site Manufacturing Capabilities We believe that we are the best people to manufacture our products and while we are happy to work with compounders, we have the in-house capabilities to meet most masterbatch requirements with capacity of up to 2 tonnes per shift. Our 30mm extruder has beenheavily modified for running particularly troublesome materials while a Thermo Fisher bench-top lab extruder is on hand for small trials and ongoing research & development. We also have two injection moulding machines with a variety of tools to produce test plaques for antimicrobial testing, dog-bones for tensile testing and bars for impact testing. For silicone mixing we utilise two Winkworth z-blade mixers and a lab-scale 2-roll mill.
