Founded in 1945, LATI is a family-owned, independent European manufacturer of thermoplastic polymer compounds for injection moulding. The company made its name through offering a wide range of high-performance flame retardant compounds for the electrical and electronics sector – and these continue to be an important part of its range.

More recently, LATI’s product portfolio has grown include a number of other specialist grades, including:

· electrically conductive compounds for anti-static, ESD and shielding applications (LATIOHM, LATISTAT and LATISHIELD);

· metal replacement materials designed for both structural and aesthetic applications (LATIGLOSS and LARAMID T);

· thermally conductive compounds for heat dissipation (LATICONTHER);

· high-temperature compounds;

· self-lubricating materials for friction and wear parts (LATILUB);

· detectable materials (x-ray and/or magnetically detectable) (LATIGRAY and MDT);

· materials approved for drinking water and/or food contact;

· 3D printing materials (direct from granule FDM printing) and;

· bio-based and recycled materials (LATIGEA and LATIECO).

Today’s product range includes compounds based on high-performance polymers from PP to PEEK, and finding application in a wide variety of industrial sectors: electronics and energy management; road, rail and air transportation; communications and data management; precision engineering and industrial machinery; food processing and medical devices.
