Custom Feedstock Services

ADVATOLL™ 

Toll Processors for Your Formulations 

ADVATOLL™ is a process that creates compounding and pelletized MIM feedstock formulations, creating custom lot sizes from 5lbs (2.5kg) to 1,700lbs (800kgs).  

AMP is ISO 9001 certified and has the processes, dedicated equipment, expertise, materials knowledge and testing facilities to ensure that each lot of material consistently meets specification every time. 

ADVARENEW™ 

Restores Overworked Feedstock 

ADVARENEW™ is a process service that restores overworked feedstock to its original rheology. MIM feedstock rheology can change significantly after multiple processing and regrind cycles. Using our in-house testing equipment and expertise, AMP characterizes the feedstock’s rheological data and rejuvenates the binder system. Our final quality assurance checks, including MFI and capillary rheometer testing, confirm that the renewed materials’ viscosity and MSF characteristics are restored. 

Quality

AMP strives to continuously improve the quality and reliability of the products and services we offer our customers.

The quality of our feedstock is directly related to our meticulous batch-processing technique. Raw materials are mixed in-house and weighed  precisely in order to better achieve the proper ratio of metal powder to polymer binder.

Our production team, investment in R&D, and ISO 9001:2015 certified facility and processes ensure that our feedstock meets your stringent specifications and delivers the performance you expect.
