Company profile
Roechling Industrial (Singapore) Pte Ltd. provides thermoplastic and composite material solutions and supplies semi-finished products including sheets, rods, tubes, welding rods, and profiles, together with machined and assembled precision components for a broad range of industrial sectors. The group reports a workforce of around 11,000 people across 90 locations in 25 countries, positioning its operations close to customers and supporting localized service. Roechling Industrial's Industrial Division offers a broad selection of thermoplastics and composites for technical applications. Its material forms range from semi-finished sheets, rods, tubes, flat bars, and profiles through finished castings to precise machined parts. The division states that its plastics are used in almost every industry worldwide and that it analyzes the differing material requirements of each customer industry in detail. Its product-development approach is to fit materials to individual applications, supported by more than 100 years of specialization in plastics processing and material selection for customer requirements. The core industrial portfolio is organized around thermoplastic semi-finished products, machined thermoplastic components, and fibre-reinforced composite materials.
Exhibits
Roechling Industrial (Singapore) Pte Ltd. offers plastic welding rods and wires made of PE, PP, PVC, and PVDF, including Polystone® materials for PE and PP and Trovidur® for PVC; the welding materials are matched to corresponding sheet materials to create secure joints and can be welded using common thermal welding processes. Using these welding rods together with matching sheet material, U sections, and hollow sections is intended to support processability and long-term strength of welded components while reducing complaint and consequential-damage risks associated with faulty material. The welding rods use the same moulding compound as the corresponding sheet material and therefore share properties such as continuous operating temperature, chemical resistance, and density. The welding-rod range covers the typical cross-sections specified by DVS 2211, with delivery as loose rolls of 5kg and 10kg, reels of 3kg and 10kg, or uncut lengths of 1,000mm and 2,000mm; special products and other geometries are available on request. Because the welded seam is important to the operational safety and service life of tanks, Roechling carries out regular tests on welded joints in its development centre to verify weldability, maintain the quality of existing materials, and apply testing expertise to new-material development. For heating-element butt welding of PE80 and PE100 under DVS 2207-1 in accordance with DIN 8074 and DIN 8075, suitability is stated for MFF 190/5 ranges of 0.3 to 1.7g/10min or 0.2 to 0.7g/10min. For PP-H, PP-B, and PP-R under DVS 2207-11 in accordance with DIN 8077 and DIN 8078, suitability is stated for MFF 190/5 of 0.4 to 1.0g/10min, approximately equal to MFF 230/2.16 of 0.2 to 0.6g/10min. For PVDF, DVS 2207-15 states a suitability range of MFF 230/2.16 from 1.0 to 25g/10min for density from 1.7 to 1.8g/cm³, and materials complying with the stated ranges can be taken as suitable for welding together. If melting mass flow rates fall outside the stated ranges, DVS 2207-1 calls for proof of suitability through a creep-behaviour in tension test under DVS 2203-4; the melting mass flow rates for thermoplastics used in chemical container and plant engineering are listed in technical data sheets and factory certificates. Because small notches can occur around weld seams and may lead to cracks under unfavorable conditions, the material guidance recommends PP-B welding rod for welding PP-H sheet material; Polystone® P copolymer grey is offered as a standard welding wire while Polystone® P Homopolymer grey welding rods continue to be produced. These plastic welding wires are used with matching sheets where a stable and reliable joint is required, including tanks and systems for chemical media, drinking-water and wastewater treatment, and swimming-pool construction. For semiconductor factory equipment, Roechling provides thermoplastic materials for devices and production environments where sensitive IC manufacturing requires both demanding equipment properties and processes precisely matched to the manufacturing conditions. The semiconductor material portfolio addresses cleanroom requirements, chemical resistance, weldability, antistatic and ESD behavior, and flame retardancy including FM4910 and UL94. FM4910-qualified materials are presented for improving fire protection, insurance coverage, and plant safety and for preventing property damage and personal injury. Factory-equipment applications include furniture, cabinets, enclosures, shelves and racks, transport carts, exhaust hoods, workstations, wet benches, sinks, workpiece carriers, transport trays, tanks, protective devices, and cleanrooms. Listed flame-retardant material options include Polystone® ECTFE natural, Polystone® PVDF natural, Sustamid® 6 FR natural, SustaPEEK natural, and Trovidur® EC-FR across E-CTFE, PVDF, PA 6, PEEK, and PVC-U material families. Cleanroom material selection is tied to cleanroom class, intended uses, and customer requirements, with structural elements such as walls, ceilings, air showers, ventilation, lighting, and furnishings requiring detailed planning and appropriate materials. ESD plastics with defined electrically conductive properties are intended to dissipate electrostatic charges in a controlled and lasting manner, with applications including electronics and semiconductor production, ventilation and pump construction, medical technology, chemical and pharmaceutical processing, dust-generating bulk-material environments, handling of flammable liquids and gases, paper, fabric and film production, and mining. For semiconductor applications, material selection considers antistatic or conductive properties, operating temperature, chemical contact, design requirements, dimensions and tolerances, and flame retardancy.
