The ABC of Plastics

Plastic is an artificially produced material. It consist of millions of very long, interwoven molecule chains (polymers), that are composed of permanently repeating basic units (monomers).

The advantages of plastic are - amongst others - its low density, good shaping properties, longevity, good electric insulation, heat insulation, low costs and its most outstanding feature is its diversity. The technical properties (e.g.: density, hardness, elasticity, breaking strength, temperature- and heat resistant shape retention, chemical stability, etc.) of plastics can be changed largely by selecting the initial material (monomers), the production process and by mixing in additives and filling materials.

Depending on their molecular structure and the degree of cross-linking between the main chains, plastics are divided into three large groups. Apart from the groups offered by memoplast of thermoplastic material and elastomers to which also the liquid silicones (Liquid-Silicone-Rubber LSR) belong, there is also the group of thermoset material.

The Company Profile of memoplast

memoplast GmbH is a young, and dynamic company. We have specialised in manufacturing high-quality injection moulding parts by using the rapid-tooling procedure.

In order to be able to supply you with high quality components in the shortest possible time, we combine under our roof the complete processing chain from tool design via manufacturing and assembling the injection moulding tools to producing samples on our injection moulding machines. Only by remaining mostly independent from suppliers we are able to guarantee you the expected quality and keep our promised deadlines for delivery.

Our competent and motivated project team consists of engineers and technicians and looks after you during the complete process chain. We are happy to advise you even before the project starts about the appropriate plastic suitable for the design of your specific components.
