Environmental Testing

At K&B Molded Products, our ability to provide low-cost alternatives to customers that have traditionally relied on cast or machined steel parts has made us a preferred vendor across many industries.

For the Wastewater Management and Environmental Testing industries, this means robust parts and components that deliver design flexibility and lightweight with the same strength characteristics as metal. Thermoplastics parts are easier to install and far less expensive to custom manufacture.

The development of cutting edge materials such as Polyether Ether Ketone (PEEK) has also greatly affected the expansion of injection molded products in these industries. PEEK is a colorless organic thermoplastic of the polyaryletherketone family; this dynamic material possesses a number of properties that make it ideal for many applications.

PEEK is manufactured in many grades, some with operating temperatures up to 662°F; it is also easy to machine and resistant to various corrosive chemicals. It also has a UL94-V0 flammability rating; this means that when it is exposed to flame, it will give off very little smoke or toxic fumes.
