Turn to DMP for great-looking, durable thermoset parts that can withstand high temperatures, heavy corrosion, conductivity, high touch and other challenging conditions.
Working with our team, you'll discover a level of confidence that only a true thermoset industry leader of over 60 years can provide.
A Cleaner Thermoset Operation
The traditional thermoset process involves a lot of flash, which must be sanded off, creating a dusty environment of poor air quality.
Not in DMP's facility. Here's what you'll find when you visit us:
- Automated deflashing, often as part of a closed system
- Vacuum systems on all machines
- A clean, neat and organized facility at all times
A Smarter Supply Chain
DMP maintains close partnerships with material suppliers, vs. having in-house compounding services.
This approach not only allows us to be more flexible and responsive in applying the right material to your project, but also keeps us focused on what we do best: producing great thermoset parts.
Lean and Continuous Improvement
- Adhering to the 6S lean process, including safety
- Always looking proactively to apply our expertise in suggesting and implementing process and material improvements that will improve your product
Niche Market Expertise
- Automotive. Components around the engine exposed to fuel, high temperatures and pressure. Parts that need dielectric properties and tight tolerances. CAM gears, fuel pumps, structural brackets, rocker covers and more.
- Electrical. Parts with dielectric properties and high temperature resistance. Metal-to-thermoset plastic conversions. Housing bases, insulators, covers, diffusers, deflectors, cross bars, separators, line base/covers, filter cups, phase barriers, rotors, interrupters.
- Foodservice. Temperature-resistant parts and clean, sterile production. Material selection and advanced processing are keys to success. Trays, drain adapters, food warmer parts, etc.
- Healthcare. Hard, chemically resistant surfaces that stand up to constant abuse. Produced in a clean environment. Covers and enclosures to protect important equipment, handheld devices, large surfaces such as chairs and counter components. Healthcare case study
Basics of Thermosets, Scientific Molding and Steel Selection. In this presentation, you'll learn more about the pros and cons of thermoset parts, cost analysis, material choices and processing options.
Is Thermoset Right for You? Traditional plastic or metal surfaces can't always stand up to the abuse of many applications. If you need a more chemically robust material with flame retardants, it's time to consider thermosets.
