Applications

Cryogenic Deflashing

Cryogenic Deflashing

Deflashing is a finishing process that uses liquid nitrogen to remove flash, overflow or excess rubber or plastic, on cast or molded parts.

Cryogenic Material Separation

Cryogenic Material Separation

PolarFit® Cryogenic Material Separation process uses liquid nitrogen to cool composite parts to cryogenic temperatures to facilitate the separation of individual components.

Injection or Blow Molding

Injection or Blow Molding

Gas Assist Injection Molding is a process that utilizes an inert gas (normally nitrogen) to create one or more hollow channels within an injection-molded plastic part.

Polymer Processing

Polymer Processing

Utilizing gas-enabled polymer processing, instead of hazardous or ozone depleting chemicals, can provide quality, efficiency and environmental benefits. Foaming, laminating and extruding are a few polymer processes that can benefit from using industrial gases such as nitrogen and carbon dioxide.
