| At Atlantic
Gasket Corporation, we use precision die cutting equipment to cut
all thin film plastics from .001” thk. up to .062” thk. and utilize
water jet and laser capabilities to cut most plastics up to 1” thk.
Our most popular plastic materials are available from stock and
include Polycarbonate (Lexan®), Polyester films (Mylar®),
Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE), High Density Polyethylene (HDPE),
Acetal, Teflon, and Polyethylene Terephthalate-glycol (PETG).
Typical Applications:
• Insulators cut from Mylar™
• Face plates cut from Polycarbonate
used on electronic instruments
• Spacers and shims
Most of the thinner plastics with adhesive backing
can be supplied “kiss-cut”
on rolls. Custom die cut plastic parts can often be supplied with
a crease line that will allow the part to be folded in the exact
place each and every time or with perforations that also aid in
the bending/forming process. Based on your design, we can die cut
internal cutouts such as round holes, oval slots, rectangular/square
cutouts, or any shape imaginable. Parts can be cut as small as 1/16”
dia. to as large as a 36” square or any size and shape in between.
We can supply parts with an adhesive backing on one or both sides
or without an adhesive backing.
While many of our competitors require expensive tooling
to die cut plastic parts, our 70 years plus of combined tooling
design experience allows us to fabricate most custom plastic die
cut parts using inexpensive steel
rule dies, which in turn can save our customers thousands of
dollars in tooling costs and several weeks in delivery time.
Contact Atlantic Gasket Corporation, a leading
die cutter, and let us lend our experience in precision plastic
die cutting to provide you with cost savings and quality improvements
on your next custom die-cut part.
