The Conversion of Metal to Plastic

The automotive industry has been at the forefront of converting parts to plastic; parts that traditionally were made of metal.  Nordon has been part of this process for many years, and is therefore well versed at molding with glass-filled nylon resins, to achieve mechanical properties that are similar to metal.

Glass-filled nylon components are widely used for automotive applications, due to their enhanced strength and impact resistance.  Optimum performance is achieved by inclusion of uniformly dispersed glass fibers throughout the component part, which are bonded to the nylon through the use of coupling agents.

Look under the hood or in the trunk of any automobile or truck, and you will see many examples of the conversion from metal to plastic.  Nordon most assuredly has manufactured a number of the plastic parts you will see.

Nordon is fully equipped to handle these types of challenges.  Let Nordon assist you in your next high performance project.

Nordon manufactures a broad range of highly specialized components serving companies who utilize explosives.

Companies in the mining, quarrying, pipeline, geophysical exploration, and construction businesses use explosives as part of their “tools-of-the-trade”.  Safety is of paramount importance when applying explosives, and to that end, the quality and precision of the component parts used in applying explosives is of paramount importance

Safe and effective blasting can only be achieved with world-class initiation systems.

Nordon produces component parts for initiation systems.  The specifications for these detonator parts are very demanding, and require the exact blending of resins, and the precise control of processing conditions to insure that the component parts will perform consistently and accurately every time.

Nordon is fully equipped to handle these types of manufacturing challenges.  Let Nordon assist you in your next highly sensitive project.

Nordon manufactures a broad range of components for the railroad industry.

Railroad signal controls are one of the fastest growing industries in North America.  A number of companies providing associated turnkey systems and construction have emerged since the mid-nineteen nineties, and grown precipitously. 

These companies offer automated horn systems, exit gate management systems, crossing closures verification systems, quiet zone indicators, loop cables, inductive circuits, interconnections, loop processors, solar powered signals, and many others, too numerous to mention here. 

As part of their growth strategies, they focus on providing the highest levels of safety and reliability and demand the same from their component suppliers.  They use equipment from the most reputable firms in the signal and communications industries.

Nordon has produced component parts for the control aspects of the railroad industry since the late nineteen nineties.  Let Nordon assist you in your endeavors.
