Duromer Products was established in 1988, originally as a distributor of PA 6 and PET materials and barrier films. In 1995 it began production of PA 6 and PET engineering compounds under a licence from Honeywell. Since then, the company has expanded its product range to include a broad range of commodity and engineering polymers and compounds. To support its continuing growth, Duromer recently moved into a new manufacturing facility at Prestons in Sydney where it operates three twin screw compounding lines.


Product line:


Duromer produces a wide range of products, although the bulk of its production is engineered compounds. Polymers compounded include PA, ABS, POM, PC, PK, PBT and PET, as well as HDPE and PP. The company also compounds recycled polymers. With its Polystruct line, Duromer claims to be Australia's only producer of long fibre reinforced thermoplastic compounds.


Product strengths:


Aside from its standard products, Duromer offers customised thermoplastic solutions formulated to meet customer’s specific challenges. For example, it recently expanded its polyketone compound family to include a glass-filled grade that carries US water industry NSF 61 Commercial Hot 82° certification.
