Injection Moulding
Most thermoplastics can be processed by Injection Moulding. The table below lists some of the commonly used materials:
Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene ABS
Nylon PA
Polycarbonate PC
Polypropylene PP
Polystyrene GPPS
Injection mouldings count for a significant proportion of all plastics products from micro parts to large components such as bumpers and wheelie bins.
Virtually all industry sectors use injection moulded parts - below is a few examples of the most common sectors that we supply:
Aerospace
Hospitalities/Catering
Medical
Industrial equipment
Automation
Consumer Electronics
The flexibility in sizes and shapes possible through the use of this process have consistently extended the boundaries of design in plastics and enabled significant replacement of traditional materials thanks to light weighting and design freedom.
Whether you are looking to source a new supplier for an existing product or you have a new product that you are developing we can help.
Plastic Laser Cutting
Plastic Laser Engraving
Key benefits
the quality feel of an engraved component
ability to engrave small font sizes
superior reproduction of fonts and logos
There are many applications for laser engraving, from equipment and component marking though to promotional products. Control panels and equipment fascias are a speciality.
Plastic Fabrication
Chemical bonding provides good mechanical strength and can create mitre, face, lap and butt joints. It also has the benefits of being a quick process, can be used to produce clean-looking joints on clear materials and does not ‘contaminate’ the plastic with metal parts.
Mechanical fixing is achieved with a range of well-known fasteners. This is generally used when superior mechanical strength is required.
Edge polishing is used to give a desirable polished look to a component. This is mainly used for acrylic components since they polish well and are often used for highly visual applications. We flame polish, wet sand and buff polish.
Plastic 3-Axis/5-Axis CNC Machining
Multi-axis CNC machines are typically more complex and expensive than 3-axis machines, but they offer several advantages, including:
The ability to produce complex parts in a single setup, which can save time and money
Increased accuracy and repeatability
Improved surface finishes
Reduced tool wear
Increased productivity
Assembly & Packing
Assembly & packing services can offer a number of benefits to businesses, including:
Reduced costs: Assembly & packing services can help you to reduce your costs by eliminating the need to invest in your own assembly and packaging equipment and personnel.
Increased efficiency: Assembly & packing services can help you to increase your efficiency by freeing up your time and resources to focus on other aspects of your business.
Improved quality: Assembly & packing services can help you to improve the quality of your products by ensuring that they are assembled and packaged correctly.
Reduced risk: Assembly & packing services can help you to reduce the risk of damage to your products during shipping and handling.

Supply Chain Capabilities
About us
Established in 1991, Advanced Plastic Technology combines a vast amount of experience with outstanding plastic processing technologies to ensure high-quality, cost effective products and services to a diverse group of individual manufacturers.
Through developing new and innovative methods of designing plastic components, we at Advanced Plastic Technology are able to keep all operations and technologies flexible enough to ensure a wide variety of supplies and sub-assemblies.
Here at Advanced Plastic Technology, we believe that cost, quality and fast delivery are absolutely essential for excellent customer service, so we have a team of experienced specialists who are devoted to improving these factors and offering help and support wherever possible. We as a company ensure that all employees participate in ongoing improvement activities so that they can provide consistently reliable service.
Here at Advanced Plastic Technology, we supply our wide range of products to a vast array of industries and sectors, which include Capital Equipment, Print, Construction, Shop Fitting, Aerospace, Industrial Equipment, Water, Electronics, Audio Equipment, Lighting, Nuclear, Specialist Automotive, Engineering, Lab Equipment, Chemical Plant, Food Processing Machinery, Oil and Gas, Rail, Building Materials, Kitchen Equipment and Medical Devices. Each of these industries have a need for plastic components and sub-assemblies, and rely on our extensive knowledge and experience as well as our excellent process capabilities.
Through the use of plastic products and services, these industries and sectors will gain better quality, more reliable delivery and advanced materials expertise. For example, one advantage of choosing polycarbonate over glass is that it is a clear plastic material which is much stronger and more durable. Plastic panels are also less expensive to make and are more beneficial than using painted sheet metal.
Advanced Plastic Technology has supplied a wide range of plastic-related services for over twenty years, including Plastic Laser Cutting, Laser Engraving, CNC Machining Plastic, CNC Routing Plastic, Line Bending, Drape Moulding, Fabrication, Welding and Assembly. We as a company work closely with clients and maintain positive working relationships to ensure that their needs are met quickly and efficiently. We are able to review designs and point customers in the right direction so that they can find the best fit for them.
We at Advanced Plastic Technology are always willing to offer and suggest a variety of options for clients to choose from and tweak designs to maintain high quality and low costs. Throughout the design process, our company offers product packaging, insert fitting, mechanical assembly, polishing, heat treatment and printing to all clients, which results in meeting their requirements and exceeding their expectations, therefore boosting our reputation and leaving customers satisfied every time.
