Applications
Manufacturing
The manufacturing sector is a cornerstone of the New Zealand economy, encompassing a wide range of sub-industries such as machinery, electronics, plastics, packaging, and more. Products like PTFE tapes, fabrics, silicone rubber, and belts are integral for equipment maintenance, production processes, and packaging lines.
Agriculture and Horticulture
As a major exporter of agricultural products, New Zealand’s farming and horticultural industries use advanced materials for machinery, packing, and processing applications.
Construction and Building
Construction applications include gasketing foam, silicone rubber, and tapes for sealing, weatherproofing, and insulation.
Food & Beverage Processing
New Zealand has a strong and growing food and beverage sector, known for high-quality and sustainable production. PTFE-coated materials and belts are widely used in food processing and packaging for their non-stick, hygienic, and heat-resistant properties.
Electronics and Technology
The electronics manufacturing and assembly sector benefits from high-performance tapes, foams, and silicone rubbers for insulation, gasketing, and protection of sensitive components.
Healthcare and Medical Device Manufacturing
The healthcare sector uses silicone rubber and specialised tapes for medical devices, equipment manufacturing, and cleanroom environments.
Renewable Energy
The renewable energy sector, including wind, solar, and hydroelectric power, often requires advanced gasketing, insulation, and conveyor solutions for equipment reliability and efficiency.
Automotive and Transport
The automotive and transport industries require durable, heat-resistant, and chemical-resistant materials for gaskets, seals, belts, and insulation.
Packaging
Packaging manufacturers use PTFE-coated belts and tapes for heat sealing, conveying, and non-stick applications.
