Bayer Corporation

Ciba Corning, now Bayer Corporation, needed a supplier for a cylinder-shaped part to be compression-molded from potassium chloride (KCl) powder, which is used as a cleaning solution for blood analysis equipment. Since, technically, KCl is not a plastic, the company wasn’t sure if it could be produced.

Result: Quadra-Tek™ built a separate molding room for production because of the corrosive nature of KCl, which allowed this part to be molded efficiently.
