Injection Molded Tubes
Polymics,® Ltd. offers “two-shot” injection molding, insert and overmolding, and other injection molding processes in order to provide the best solution in the shortest amount of time by eliminating the need for any final annealing or machining processes.
Injection molded tubes can be made up to OD 15.0" in 0.25" increments with wall thicknesses up to 0.75." Tubes are available in 6.0" lengths.
Standard Injection Molded Tube Materials

Fabricated Parts
Polymics,® Ltd. is able to combine machining processes to give you a complete solution that has been tailored to your application. All of our finished parts are completed to customer requirements and can be made from customer-provided drawings.
If your existing parts are not working, Polymics,® Ltd. is ready to help you upgrade to a better solution by replacing the material or providing you with a better-fitting component.
Compression Molded Shapes
Hot Compression Molded shapes manufactured by Polymics,® Ltd. provide engineers and machinists with the quality and performance required for the most demanding applications. Polymics,® Ltd. is currently Compression Molding Plates, Rods, Tubes, Discs, and Near Net Shapes.
Compression Molding is among the most economical of options because it offers a wide range of near net sizes and produces materials with low minimum order quantities. As a result, users can buy exactly the amount of material needed without having to pay additional charges for tooling or small run set-ups.
Benefits of Compression Molding
Lowest cost to create molds
Minimal waste
Small amount of “throw away” or wasted material (ideal for expensive compounds)
Reduced labor costs
Minimization of final internal stress and warping
Stability & Accuracy
Excellent dimensional stability and manufacturing accuracy
