HCM - Hot Compression Moulding

STABIL is the brand under which semi-finished products in PEEK™, PCTFE, and PFA, manufactured using the HCM process, are distributed. This technology, designed in 2005 and finalized in 2007, allows us to obtain semi-finished products with excellent polymer homogeneity and fusion, free from burns, blowholes, or cracks typical of other manufacturing processes such as compression molding.

TRACEABILITY:

PROCESS CONTROL THROUGH ID

The HCM process is monitored at every stage, with each individual cycle recorded using digital equipment and specially developed software. As a result, each tube is clearly defined by its production ID, which identifies the batch of VICTREX® raw material used and the process parameters of the production cycle. The ID is printed on the label applied to the semi-finished product and/or the finished parts derived from it.

QUALITY AND PRECISION

A key feature of the HCM process is the repeatability of the production cycle through its parameters, comparable to a CNC machine program. This ensures consistent quality in the supplied products.

We carefully check all manufactured tubes by ultrasonic inspection.

EXTREME FLEXIBILITY

Our dimensional range varies from Ø 35 to Ø 790 mm and includes both rods and tubes, offering maximum flexibility to meet each customer’s specific needs.

With this in mind, in 2015, the “Big STABIL” was introduced: a semi-finished product measuring 390x275x320 mm and weighing 25 kg, designed to meet particularly demanding requirements.

RELIABILITY:

SELECTED RAW MATERIALS

We use carefully selected raw materials to ensure the highest quality of our semi-finished products.

Additionally, we offer the possibility of creating custom compounds based on the specific needs of our customers, with no minimum quantity requirements.

In urgent situations, we guarantee delivery within 48 working hours.

CONTROL

We regularly inspect our semi-finished products by conducting in-house elongation tests according to ASTM D-638 standards.

Thanks to our equipment, we can provide 3.1 certificates for each individual tube produced.
