Customer Issue
A leading manufacturer of premium pressurized sprayers sought to reshore production while maintaining aggressive cost targets.
AGS Injection Molding Solution
AGS Technology successfully replaced virgin acetal copolymer with AGS Injectoblend™ FPOM110, a recycled acetal copolymer. The material provides equivalent mechanical and chemical performance at a reduced cost. The solution functioned as a drop-in replacement with no tooling or process changes required. In addition, the manufacturer was able to differentiate itself from its competition by promoting their environmental stewardship using 100% recycled material.
