Westec Plastics Announces New Capability

Livermore, CA, December 11, 2010 --(PR.com)-- With the addition of another medical device company to its growing list of customers, Westec Plastics also expanded its technical capabilities to include the molding of Cyclic Olefin Polymer (COP).

The nitrogen gas feed system, necessary to prevent oxidation of the COP during processing, included oxygen level monitoring to ensure operator safety.
