Skills and know-how
The activities of CEP are all based in the plastic industry, a relatively young sector, which grew up quickly within the last 50 years.
Materials of the third millennium, plastics are partners of every major technological challenge and progress of our time.
PlasticCEP essentially uses “thermoplastic” (polystyrene and polypropylene), renowned for being rigid and solid at room temperature, to soften as its temperature increases and to become liquid at around 250°C. Polystyrene and polypropylene do not release any toxic gas at room temperature and can be easily recycled on melting. |

What is an injection mould?An injection mould is a type of giant “waffle iron” made up of two sections which fit together. The hot and liquid plastic runs into the channels of the mould to give a shape to the product. All our moulds are designed on site in 3D and then manufactured by experts. |
Plastic injectionThe injection press used consists of an open-ended screw and a frame supporting the two sections of the mould. The frame opens and closes to allow the two sections of the mould to open and close successively. |

RheologyRheology (in Greek, rhein : to flow), is the science of flowing liquid material. It is the correct structure of liquid plastic flowing properties which enables the creation of very precise plastic distribution, optimizing quality standards (finish and solidity) and manufacturing constraints. |
