Rationalise your supply chain with our one stop shop. No longer the need for several suppliers, inter supplier shipping costs and extended lead times so you have your products in stock so you can sell then, just order the finished product, and all on one invoice! Spraying We offer a complete spraying service on many materials, not just plastic. We however have as you would expect expertise in the spraying of plastics as well as some specialist processes which include; RFI Here we prepare and apply paint systems of complex geometry products to deliver EMI / RFI shielding. In our increasingly electronic world EMI and RFI can cause suppression of signals in electronic devices, interference with equipment operation, or emissions generated that will interfere with equipment operation. With waves and signals floating through the air, EMI and RFI are potential problems in any industry. (Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and Radio Frequency Interference (RFI)) Decorative Effects Cast Iron Here, with the specialist application process developed by Glazpart we make plastic rain water systems look like a traditional cast iron systems. This provides more cost effective products to the construction market. Plastic Profile systems Here, as colour becomes more prevalent for ever more decerning customers the need for colour increases. However, the cost effectiveness of stripping down extrusion machines is costly. So, you can extrude in a single colour to maximise extruder efficiency with the confidence that Glazpart can deliver the right colour for you. Example, plastic roof line and cladding systems.

T 01295 264533 19 Printing We have a diverse range of printing processes to match your product needs. These include screen printing, hot foiling and our specialist process s outlined below. These specialist processes include; Aqua Printing This process allows for the coverage of complex 3D geometry components with any one of 500 standard finishes. In addition we develop unique patterns to meet individual design needs. The process can be applied not only to plastic, but other substrates include cast aluminium, ferrous metals and just about any substrate! If the item can be dipped in water, then the Aqua printing process can be potentially applied. As can be seen opposite, mill aluminium castings now look like timber? PAD (Tampo) Printing Here, we can transfer a two dimensional image onto a three dimensional object. This process uses an offset (gravure) process involving an image being transferred from an engraved plate onto a silicone pad to print on a substrate. Pad printing is used for printing difficult to print upon products in many industries which include medical, automotive, promotional and electronic objects. Rotational printing This new process allows for high accuracy printing of highly detailed, low tolerance designs onto circular or tubular substrates, extrusions or mouldings. FM 10024
