Röhm is constantly aiming for better quality and innovations for our products, but also for better solutions along the entire customer journey. This is why we are changing the nomenclature for light diffusing molding compounds from January 1st 2023.

• Best-in-class Vicat softening temperature• Best-in-class: RTI/UL rating (Resist thermal aging)• Typical properties of PLEXIGLAS® are retained (transmittance, weathering, high clarity)• Low color shift over long light distances

Effective October 1, 2024, Röhm GmbH will increase the prices for its PMMA and PMMI molding compounds, which are marketed under the trademarks PLEXIGLAS® and PLEXIMID®.

2K OverMolding is also call Rotary mold double-material injection molding technology is an efficient plastic molding technology. It can use two different plastic materials for molding at the same time. By rotating the mold, the product can be molded synchronously in the same cycle under the condition of different materials.

The great thing about PLEXIGLAS® is that it is always in impressive shape – to be specific, in precisely the shape you require. That’s because our high-performance plastic can be individually formed, making it possible to create entirely new lighting concepts. PLEXIGLAS® also outshines conventional materials in terms of transparency and durability.

Furthermore, adding LEDs can take your products to a whole new level of appeal. Our expertise in over-molding allows us to create eye-catching designs that will captivate your customers and leave a lasting impression.

PLEXIGLAS® has the ability to take on any color – while also remaining green. At its basic structure, PLEXIGLAS® contains no halogens, no aromatic compounds, and no plasticizers. It is nontoxic, noncarcinogenic, and nonmutagenic. Best of all, at the end of its life, it is fully recyclable. PLEXIGLAS® is the material of choice for your green products.

Common electrical hand tools are almost made of two different plastic materials, and the softer material is to protect the user from the vibration caused by operating the tool. We are familiar with the benefits of the combination of various materials for users, and are super familiar with such molding technology, which can help designers design a series of electrical hand tools with higher adaptability and product quality.

Compared with traditional single-material injection molding, this technology can manufacture more complex and higher-precision products while saving production time and cost. However, the implementation of this technology requires a high level of tooling and molding skills to meet your needs.

The power of over-molding lies in its ability to combine materials for optimal performance. As experts in over-molding, we specialize in revolutionizing product design through advanced encapsulation molding techniques. Whether it's for complex product designs or simple applications, we bring our expertise to ensure the highest quality and functionality in every project.

We believe in reincarnation. The reincarnation of PLEXIGLAS®, at least. Because PLEXIGLAS® is so pure that it can be broken down into its basic components again to be reborn as new PLEXIGLAS®. Few plastics can achieve a rebirth of this kind – this is not downcycling, but true recycling in the interests of a circular economy!

Products made from this have a significantly reduced carbon footprint compared with virgin material. This process clearly distinguishes PMMA from other materials where chemical recycling only produces precursors for monomer production, such as pyrolysis oils.

• Röhm offers customers two new ways to lower their product carbon footprint• PLEXIGLAS® proTerra M5 contains mechanically recycled PMMA• PLEXIGLAS® proTerra 8N made from ISCC PLUS-certified raw materials

PLEXIGLAS® has been an inspiration since its very first application – after all, the brand polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) from Röhm is the material of choice for creative designs and innovative projects thanks to its versatile properties and intelligent functions.

Effective October 1, 2024, Röhm will increase the prices for its PMMA and PMMI molding compounds, which are marketed under the trademarks PLEXIGLAS® and PLEXIMID®.

The Business Line Molding Compounds meets demanding quality requirements of automotive industry for sub-tier 1 suppliers and has certified all three production sites in Worms, Shanghai and Oscela.

Backlight units of screens are often made of high-purity polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) and are therefore ideal for chemical recycling. In this process, the polymer (PMMA) is returned to the monomer (MMA) by heating, which can then be used as a raw material for polymerizing PLEXIGLAS® or other products such as reactive resins.

PLEXIGLAS® molding compounds show convincing performance in all applications where the foremost requirements are unexcelled weather resistance, colorfastness, high brilliance and transparency as well as hardness and abrasion resistance. In cooperation with specialists from the plastics industry and their suppliers we develop new PLEXIGLAS® products for innovative applications. This joint development work leads to complete, production-stage solutions for end users.

Over-molding technology is not just a means to add functionality, it is also an opportunity to elevate your brand’s aesthetics. Through numerous successful applications in commercial and consumer products, we’ve harnessed the power of over-molding to make logos truly stand out.

Nowadays, in order to meet various conceptual designs, the injection molding industry needs to use unique manufacturing technology to meet the solution of the final product. GATEWAY not only has 40 years of experience and achievements in special molding technology, we also widely use OVERMOLDING technology & INSERTMOLDING technology to meet most The product needs. In other words, if the product needs an aesthetic or ergonomic design, this molding technology can be used to meet those needs.

Simply explain that OVERMOLDING is a forming process of covering plastic material on another plastic or any material. The common combination is to add a layer of soft, functional and ergonomic plastic material on the hard plastic surface, such as rubber material (Usually thermoplastic elastomer), the amount can improve the touch and texture of the product. Different colors or materials can also be used to change or enhance the visual favorability of the product, which cannot be provided by a single plastic molding technology characteristic.
