ABOUT SPECIALTY POLYMERS USA
Advancing high-performance polymer molding
Specialty Polymers USA focuses on precision-controlled polymer processing, combining specialized DIM technology with materials expertise for demanding applications.
01 / OUR STORY
Pioneering a different way to mold polymers
Specialty Polymers USA was founded to meet the demand for precision-controlled processing of high-performance engineering thermoplastics. Its proprietary Displacement Intrusion Molding (DIM) technology is designed for large, thick-walled parts and cross-sections not readily achieved by conventional methods.
Developed through nearly 25 years of research in high-temperature thermoplastics, DIM bridges the gap between injection, compression and extrusion molding. The company processes materials including PBI, PEEK, PEKK, PPS and PEI, serving customers with demanding component requirements.
