End-to-end collection, handling and compliant disposal for hazardous and non-hazardous waste streams across Bristol, Plymouth, the South West and the UK.

These products are used extensively in plastic mouldings as through-holes, reducing the stress generated by threaded fasteners. They play an increasingly important role in large automotive applications in particular the electric vehicle (EV) and battery (EVB) sectors, as well as other industries.

Composite compression moulding produces cored and/or monolithic components in a one-shot moulding process. This method of manufacture uses aluminium tooling and heated platen presses, the pre-preg, foam cores, metallic inserts and integrated hardware is co-cured in a single shot process, thus eliminating the need for secondary bonding procedures in a lot of instances. Components with undercut and side features can all be moulded using tooling with modular tooling inserts and side actions. The resultant parts have a moulded face on all surfaces and edges. Composite compression moulding can also utilise a moulded core, in comparison to foam cores machined from a block, they reduce waste, speed up processing and are most often a more cost-effective approach to foam cored structures. The benefits of compression moulding in aluminium tooling is the ability to use modular tooling – this is when you can mould a number of similar components from a single mould tool with the use of removeable and interchangeable inserts that change certain aspects of the part. A further key benefit is the ability to combine compression moulding and bladder moulding into a single tool, allowing for component complexities that only this process can achieve.

MACHINING MODERN COMPOSITE MATERIALS Without fraying of fibres and delamination For optimal component surface finish quality Clean cut edges – no delamination

Condition monitoring sensors and predictive maintenance software to prevent downtime and save maintenance costs.

In environments where electronics are exposed to contaminants or extreme conditions, conformal coating offers crucial protection to keep your PCBs operating as expected. Active PCB provides a wide range of conformal coating services, using various techniques such as spray coating and potting. This service protects against moisture and chemicals, mitigates the effects of vibration and reduces current leakage. Originally a requirement for military and aerospace industries, conformal coating is now widely used across many sectors, and our expertise ensures that every coated product meets the highest quality standards

Our parent company Otter controls has a wide selection of electrical connectors and couplers, including wash proof options. Otter provides a variety of 360° electrical connectors; typically for small domestic appliances, plus we can develop bespoke connection systems for your products.

Cont Pack Plus is an efficient humidity absorber composed of high-purity calcium chloride (CaCl₂) and a gelling agent. It is capable of absorbing more than 350% of its own weight in moisture under conditions of 35°C and 95% relative humidity. When applied in the appropriate quantity, it reduces relative humidity levels in the air, thereby minimizing the risk of condensation and moisture-related damage. This container desiccant is ideal for long-distance transportation. Cont Pack Plus is available in hanging bags, adhesive formats, and customizable configurations to meet diverse packaging and transport requirements.
