IPM™

This is what the Powdered Metal Industry has been waiting for

Those in the powdered metal industry who impregnate are all too familiar with the problems presented by resins. Some resins require hourly and daily quality control checks. Some resins require expensive equipment, aeration or refrigeration. Most resins require mixing and specialized handling. Others stick on part surfaces even after washing, leaving deposits. Some resins don't even fill the part completely.

IMPCO, a company with a reputation for innovative manufacturing solutions, can lighten your workload.

Introducing IPM, the one-step resin system that makes things easier for you. And it works with your existing equipment. By curing at the best temperatures for the job, IPM means cleaner impregnated parts. Best of all, it can save your company a great deal of money.
