Advanced Materials
X2F’s technology and approach is applicable to hundreds of advanced polymer systems previously thought “unmoldable”. Processed by X2F’s system, these materials enable breakthrough properties not achievable by today’s conventional manufacturing techniques. We deliver this capability by using a dramatically lower pressure process with specialized hardware, sensors, and software that X2F designs from the ground up.
As a result, we can process highly-filled polymers and novel formulations that chemical companies have yet been unable to commercialize due to legacy molding limitations. X2F is collaborating with leading chemical companies and end-customers to provide transformational improvement in products and components with new advanced material properties.
