Formed Tubes: We can form almost any shape you can imagine
Formed Tubes
Large Elbow Overmold: Our overmold process allows us to put large complex overmolds onto the ends of extrusions.
Large Elbow Overmold
Glass-filled Nylon Air-Core® with Mounts: Glass-filled nylon was used for this part because of high heat requirements. This part illustrates the three dimensional capabilities of the Air-Core® process. It also shows how inserts can be added during the process for mounting or fastening.

PEX 5-Pass Air-Core® Water Reservoir: This refrigerator water reservoir is able to withstand pressure in excess of 480 psi. The entrance and exit tubes are installed during the Air-Core® process to insure a leak-free connection. The entire assembly is produced using Mercury Plastics? PEX-OT material which provides superior odor and taste performance.

Bend-n-Stay: A wire is encased in the Santoprene overmold which allows the polypropylene tube to hold its shape once it is bent. Spin welding is utilized to attach the nozzle assembly to the tube.

Formed Nylon with Quick-Connects: These formed nylon tubes have quick-connects inserted into the ends. Mercury Plastics also has the capabilities to overmold the quick-connects directly onto the tubes.
Formed Nylon with Quick-Connects
Formed PP Tube with PP Overmolds: This part required us to form the extruded polypropylene tube to fit around other components in the assembly. We have also overmolded directly onto the tube the filled polypropylene quick connects reducing potential leak paths as well as assembly time.
Formed PP Tube with PP Overmolds
Formed Overmold: In order to provide a 90 degree connection, the PEX tube is overmolded on both ends and then formed.
Formed Overmold
Quarter Turn Connection: This patented design requires only a quarter of a turn to make a leak free connection. The overmolded male end detail with an o-ring groove is inserted into the female overmolded end. The two ends are locked together by a nylon nut which locks onto tabs that are molded onto the outside radius of the female end. The female tube is also formed to provide easy assembly.
Quarter Turn Connection
Formed Tube Assembly: To make this tube we extrude the tube, install the foam insulation, overmold the grommet, form the tube, and cross-link the assembly via our electron beam.
Formed Tube Assembly
Form, Overmold, and Heat Seal: The mounting block is overmolded directly onto the tube, which is then formed and the end heat sealed.

Formed PP Tube with Santoprene Overmolded Ends: The function of this part required us to overmold larger diameter Santoprene tubes onto an extruded polypropylene tube and then form it to shape.
