Patented technology

The process of material transformation lies between the thermal exchanges created between the mold and the material, and Roctool has developed an ultra-fast induction heating process in order to replicate the surface of the mold directly on the injected part.

Roctool technology overcomes several challenges around “high definition plastic,” pushing the level of mold replication to the maximum.

For example, a PCR ABS resin molded with Roctool technology offers a gloss unit (GU) of 85 and texture replication of 98%, compared with a GU of 53 and 45% replication that are possible with conventional molding.

Roctool Beauty Solutions is suitable for all types of make-up, skincare and fragrance packaging solutions (bottles, flexible and rigid tubes, jars and all types of lids and caps.)

Depending on the esthetic or functional purpose of the part, using Roctool’s induction heating technology to control temperature in the mold allows the creation of ultra-thin parts, shiny, matt and textured surfaces (as well as the removal of defects like injection points, weld lines and all other material-flow lines).

“Our technology allows no compromise between luxury and sustainability. Today, the two must go hand in hand. As such, we are pushing our research in several areas: with designers from around the world, suppliers of innovative materials, and of course with our customers, whose expectations we share. We are well aware that our industry has entered a new era, a challenge we are committed to overcoming every day,” says Mathieu Boulanger.
