The Thermoplastic Extrusion Process at Spring Lake
Thermoplastic components are generally manufactured using one of two industrial processes. The first being injection molding, where molten plastic is injected under high pressure into a mold, and hardens into the desired shape as it cools.
Customers across various industries rely on us for seals with robust compression performance. These seals are designed to create effective closures with minimal force, ensuring easy latching without damage and consistent rebound after compression.
If your product is exposed to outdoor conditions that can degrade materials over time, or cause color fading and component deterioration, consider Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate (ASA) as a durable alternative to PVC or ABS.
Design Expertise Can Help Improve the Aerodynamics of Commercial Vehicles
In recent years, the commercial trucking industry has been focusing on improving aerodynamics to enhance fuel efficiency. This involves reducing turbulent airflow and extending laminar airflow around vehicles.
Our Spring Lake, Michigan facility serves as Cooper Standard ISG's thermoplastics sealing center, where many employees, including myself, have been around for decades.
At Cooper Standard ISG, we have been making radiator baffles for several commercial vehicle manufacturers and their suppliers for many years. Baffles are a vital under-hood component that directs air to the radiator to provide optimum cooling.
