Plastic Processing

The Plastics Processing industry, like all manufacturing industries, is continuously striving to reduce cost of a plastic part – a goal mainly determined by three factors:

• The cost of plastic itself, relative to its weight.
• The cost of tooling used to shape it.
• Overhead costs, which are usually the most significant expense and largely dependent on production cycle times and tooling productivity.

These can all be drastically reduced by using the right heat-conductive material in production tooling. AMPCO METAL offers a full range of innovative alloys with unparalleled heat conductivity and mechanical properties, designed to address the highly-demanding plastics industry and its production cycle times.
