Plastics

Water jet cutting machines are specialized tools that use water and abrasive substances at extremely high pressures to cut a wide range of materials. Because of this, it has been a popular choice among rigid metals like stainless steel and aluminum. However, it can be used for plastic materials as well.

Water jet cutting is used to cut plastics for many years of varying densities and thicknesses. During this method, no heat is present. Therefore, no toxic fumes are released since there’s no chance of melting the plastic during the process. As a result, our water jet cutting services have a high degree of accuracy and detail.

Phenolic Foam

Foam is softer than plastic, and it can absorb water. Phenolic foam is a cellular material that offers exceptional insulation and acoustic and fire retardant properties. Water jet cutting is considered one of the best foam-cutting methods since it won’t damage the material.

Here are some of the most common uses for cut phenolic foam:

  • Insulation in process and petrochemical applications
  • Fire doors and fire-resistant panels
  • Insulation for surface ships, off-shore installations, and submarines

UHMW

UMHW, or Ultra High Molecular Polythene, is a type of plastic that’s strong and versatile. It offers high impact, abrasion, and wear resistance that’s also lightweight, making it an ideal material for commercial and industrial applications. Our water jet cutting can easily and quickly cut through UHMW, making it a popular choice for many industries.

Laminates

Laminated materials are composed of multiple layers, usually a core material between two sheets of plastic. It’s a material used in various industries due to its strength, durability, and ability to be easily cut into different shapes and sizes.

Robo-Jet’s specialty water jet cutting services can handle laminates with its high-pressure water system, allowing us to create precise and intricate cuts with great accuracy.

Laminate cuts are used for surface finishing the following:

  • Floors
  • Walls
  • Furniture

Rubber

Our high-pressure water jet cutting service can also cut through rubber materials used for various applications in different industries. Rubber is stronger when wet. That’s why the water jet cutting method is perfect since it uses high-pressure water that won’t damage the material. We can create complex shapes from rubber with our specialty services, making it ideal for producing parts with unique details.
