Latitude Manufacturing Technologies
Signs New Licensee
Hackettstown, NJ, USA – November
18, 2003 – Custom injection molder
Noble Plastics of Lafayette, LA is the most recent licensee of PowderFlo® metal
injection molding (MIM) technology. A license agreement signed with Latitude
Manufacturing Technologies, Inc. (LMT) of Hackettstown, NJ enables Noble to begin
commercial production of injection molded parts using PowderFlo® MIM materials.
Specialty compounder RTP Company of Winona, MN is the exclusive North American
supplier of pelletized PowderFlo® feedstocks.
Founded in 2000 with a single
molding press by president Missy Rogers, Noble plastics has become a cutting
edge injection molder of performance plastic parts
with four injection molding machines ranging from 30 to 330 tons and offers
a wide range of value added services to its customers.
According to Rogers, “Noble
continually searches for materials, methods and technologies that extend and
compliment our existing services. The PowderFlo® MIM technology utilizes
our existing molding capabilities, fits well with our insert molding operations
and expands Noble’s manufacturing capabilities beyond plastics.”
In
addition to being processable in standard injection molding machinery, one
of the key features of this MIM technology is that PowderFlo® products
require no specialized debinding equipment. PowderFlo® materials use
water and the organic substance agar as their binder. This type of binder
system
can be de-bound
by simple air-drying; reducing the overall processing times for the PowderFlo® MIM
process. Additionally, PowderFlo® materials can be custom formulated
by LMT/RTP Company to meet the specific needs of individual applications.
Often
working with inventors who have only a product concept, Noble’s staff
is accustomed working in aspects of development from initial product design
and prototyping through final assembly and distribution. This full service
approach
has been the key factor in Noble’s rapid growth according to Rogers.
A strong customer base throughout the midsouth and southwestern United
States allows
Noble to routinely work with customers in the oil industry as well as generate
significant business from medical, consumer, industrial, and sporting goods
markets.

Inc. (LMT) is the global supplier of PowderFlo® MIM
