WHY TECHNYL
Reducing end-product weight
With exceptional mechanical rigidity, Technyl® materials replace metal and reduce end-product weight. Offering a wide range of grades, Domo helps designing the optimal material for your application, with reinforcing fibers adapted to meet your specific needs.
Making processing easier
Low viscosity Technyl® grades provide plastics solutions for creating complex shapes, producing parts with an excellent surface aspect without post-processing. Transformation technologies include injection molding, blow-molding, and laser sintering using Sinterline® Technyl® Powders.
Optimizing functional integration
Using Technyl® to replace metal enables manufacturers to reduce the number of tools and components required for production. Complex shapes can be produced in one-shot operations, with fewer parts, thus optimizing assembly operations and helping improve overall quality.
Lower costs at every step
Technyl® metal replacement solutions streamline the entire product cycle. Not only do plastics transformation tools cost less and last longer than their industrial metal counterparts, but equipment investment lower and designs using Technyl®can be optimized to require fewer raw materials.
Develop sustainability
Domo Engineering Plastics continues to demonstrate its commitment to a sustainable approach by designing solutions that enable customers to consume less energy for production, while continuing to increase the use of recycled products in raw materials.
