Compression bladders
Materials
• High temperature Natural rubber
Our strengths
+ innovative complex shapes
+ reduced manufacturing cost
+ reusable bladders
+ reduction of finishing costs
+ perfect thickness control of the composite layer
Piercan specialises in manufacturing high temperature natural rubber latex bladders used for moulding by compressing composite material items.
We manufacture bladders in complex shapes, and small or large sizes (e.g. a spoiler auto of 1.5 x 0.5 x 0.2 m), used in the sports industry (competitive and non-competitive), automobile industry (Formula 1 and mainstream), cycling (competitive and non-competitive), aerospace industry, marine industry and in any other field whenever a hollow composite part is designed.
Precision is a priority: for high precision products, Piercan uses state-of-the-art technology, such as manufacturing of 3D printed moulds.
Price is a priority: for mass production, Piercan optimises every stage to offer you competitive rates.

Compression (isostatic) of powders
Materials
• Neoprene
• Natural rubber
Our strengths
+ controlling the mechanical properties of natural rubber and dipped neoprene parts
+ multiple shapes, multiple moulds
To compress powders, Piercan manufactures dipped natural rubber parts, whose mechanical properties (resistance to high pressures) are perfectly controlled.
Isostatic compression of powders is used for: Metallic or ceramic powders mixture for sintering Tungsten carbide compression (pressure 2000 bars) Creation of high density counterweights (F1, aircrafts)
The bladders offered include:
Large-sized (up to 2 m long) Very thick (up to 3 mm)

Animal Health / Veterinary
50
Materials
• Neoprene
• Natural rubber
Our strengths
+ a product catalogue whose effectiveness has been amply demonstrated
Piercan has developed a know-how renowned in the domain of animal health and reproduction.
We manufacture a number of customised objects or items mentioned in the catalogue meant for animal reproduction. These items are meant either for semen collection (condoms for bulls, ponies, etc.), or to stimulate the male breeding animal (artificial rabbit vagina, etc.), via systems such as specific textures or integrated liquid containers. These parts are made with dipped elastomers or by cutting, pasting, etc.

Bellows (telemanipulators)
Materials
• Neoprene
• Neoprene antistatic
• Natural rubber
Our strengths
+ wide choice of moulds and shapes
+ appropriate regulation of the physicochemical properties of single layer or multilayer elastomers.
World leader in glovebox gloves, Piercan is in fact a key player in the field of telemanipulator bellows. In this case, it is about protecting a mechanical arm in a glovebox.
The bellows have the same application as the glovebox gloves: pharmaceutical laboratories, nuclear, semi-conductors, research, hospitals, etc.
The bellows can be manufactured by dipping, by injection or by moulding.

Materials
• Neoprene
• Neoprene antistatic
• Natural rubber
• Natural rubber high temperature
• Other materials (soaking dissolution and other techniques)
Our strengths
+ wide choice of materials
+ large number of existing moulds
+ tubes for holding samples in measuring devices/ open tubes (sprues)
+ experience, key manufacturer
A multitude of thicknesses, diameters, and materials. Our extensive range of tubes allows you to choose the tube best suited to your use. We can also manufacture tubes based on measurements taken by you.
Catalogue of tubes manufactured by dipping:
- Open or closed, round, flat, conical tubes, etc.
- 5 000 moulds in stock
- Diameters ranging from 2 mm to over 650 mm
- Thicknesses from 2/10 to 30/10 mm
- The crossing of these parameters results in a wide range
- Varied shapes: straight tubes, U shaped, S shaped, curved, etc.
Other possibilities:
If you require tailor-made tubes, other dimensions, other materials, other techniques (extrusion, etc.) we will support throughout the entire manufacturing process.
