Customized parts by Piercan

- Analysis of your specifications by the design department
- Choice of the material (single or multilayer, natural rubber, neoprene, etc.)
- Choice of the technique (dipped elastomers, calendering, injection or extrusion)
- Tooling (moulds)

One production unit only manufactures technical parts (prototypes and series).

An extensive catalogue of parts

For your standard requests, the Piercan catalogue offers you a large choice of technical elastomer parts. The parts featuring in the catalogue are readily available and come at an attractive price.

Furthermore, Piercan offers you a large choice of moulds where you can choose the shape you require. All you have to do is choose the type of elastomer.

Consulting

Whether it is customised parts or parts from the catalogue, Piercan guides you in finalising your solution and its implementation in your production units.

Piercan can also assist you during audits or in the setting up of production lines integrating elastomeric transformation, or can advise you about the physicochemical properties of the materials.

Design department: it analyses your requests and assists you in finding the most appropriate solution. The design department also develops new products

Moulds and prototypes: specific equipment - 3D printers and scanners - facilitates the creation of moulds. Production units only manufacturing technical parts make it possible to manufacture prototypes in a timely manner and at reasonable costs.

Economic optimisation: the design of solutions suited to your requirements includes quality factors, deadlines and production costs, hence facilitating the economic optimisation of your project.

R&D laboratory: the research and development laboratory provides scientific expertise in the development of products. Material testing, measurement of the physicochemical properties, development of products and innovative production systems.

Piercan is a specialist in a wide range of elastomer transformation techniques to manufacture your technical parts and offers you techniques that are best suited for your project.

Dipping | Piercan’s traditional core business: 70 years of experience and the world’s leading manufacturer of glovebox gloves stand testimony to the brand’s exceptional know-how. In dipping, the mould is immersed in baths to create a part that is then removed from the mould after drying and curing.

Economic optimization : the study of solutions to your needs incorporates both quality factors, time and cost of production, thus facilitating economic optimization of your project.

Piercan uses 2 types of baths: emulsions (natural rubbers, neoprenes) used primarily for technical parts and single layer or multilayer dissolutions (EPDM, CSM, butyl, polyurethane, etc.).

Calendering: The elastomer is passed between two rollers to achieve the desired thickness, and then vulcanised.

Injection: The elastomer is heated and then injected in moulds and vulcanised. The part is then removed from the mould.

Compression: The preform (sheet, plate, etc.) is placed in a mould then compressed, vulcanised and removed from the mould.
