Thermoplastics

Do you need thermoplastic machining? Thanks to its many machines, Fringant can supply you with high quality thermoplastic parts for different sectors of activity (aeronautics, steel industry…). On the strength of its experience in this domain, Fringant will accompany you throughout the process, from the establishment of the specifications to the final quality control. Thermoplastic machining is a precision domain which requires specific expertise. Here are some examples of the thermoplastics that we can handle: polyamide, polyacetal, polyethylene, polycarbonate etc.

Insulating pressboard

Discover

Do you need machining work for insulating pressboard? Fringant can work on this material in accordance with the various existing standards: type B 3.1, type B 2.1… and in different thicknesses: from 0.1 mm to 50 mm depending on the material. We can work on extra hard pressboard, hard pressboard, corrugated pressboard or insulating paper.

Phenolic wood / Lamiper

Discover

Fringant specializes in the machining of phenolic wood, which is resistant to water, oil or even petroleum. It is a good stable insulating material for variations of temperature. Used to make brackets for electricity inlets or floors of freight cars for example, phenolic wood has many advantages, making it the right material for many sectors of activity. A great deal of expertise is necessary to machine bakelite, which is relatively expensive. That is why Fringant offers you its services for machining phenolic wood.

Thermosetting composites

Discover

Thermosetting composites have proven excellent dielectric and mechanical resistance, as well as being resistant to chemical products and heat. Thanks to their strength and low distortion, thermosetting composites are the perfect solution for the exacting demands of many sectors of activity (aeronautics, energy, boiler-making).
Specialists in machining glass epoxy and polyester glass, laminate machining, GPO3 and bakelite, we can respond to a wide range of needs.
