CMT Materials

CMT Materials is an innovative materials company that designs & manufactures composite syntactic materials for thermoforming. Great plugs = great parts.

By 2019, CMT Materials had grown past 50 employees. With the increasing number of people on-site, we needed to renovate some of our office space to accommodate for the added personnel. We are always looking for talented individuals to join the CMT #team!

In 2017, CMT East Asia was created in Shenzhen, China to be a #distributor and resource center for customers throughout most parts of #Asia. The amazing #team at CMT EA have worked hard to support existing customers while developing new markets. 加油!

In 2016, Noel Tessier was presented with the Lifetime #Achievement award from The Society of Plastics Engineers #Thermoforming Division for his contributions to the thermoforming industry. Noel is still involved in R&D and has great #influence over the culture at CMT Materials.

Do you have a part that is too thick on the bottom, with thin side walls? HYTAC-FLXT will work perfectly! With a customized formula, this materials will allow your plastic to slide down the slide walls of the plug assist without scratching your plastic surface.

CMT Materials brought HYTAC-XTL to market in response to customers who were looking for a #thermoplastic material that was as tough as #B1X but could be polished more easily. #XTL is one of our premier products as it provides excellent surface finish for optimal part clarity.

Are you sick of replacing your plug assists because they can't hold up to the thermoforming environment? Have you tried using a thermoplastic syntactic? HYTAC-XTL is an excellent introduction into thermoplastics as it has the durability, polish ability and toughness that you need

[CMT Materials @cmtmaterials]

As the European market for #HYTAC plug assist material kept steadily increasing, CMT Materials decided to switch from using multiple #distributors and sales agents and opted to consolidate European sales under one umbrella with the creation of CMT Europe B.V in 2013.

Are you struggling to get even distribution with your deep draw application? If you have a 2:1 ratio and are having difficulties with pulling material to the bottom of the cavity, you should try CMT Materials' HYTAC-C1R.

In 2011, CMT began renovations and expansions of our current location to increase the capacity. This new space contained double the square footage and increased our #manufacturing capabilities to keep up with ever increasing demand.

Are you sick of dealing with scratching, haze, ghost lines and sheet sticking for your transparent parts? Stop struggling and switch to HYTAC-FLXT. Impregnated with PTFE, this syntactic foam will polish to a mirror like finish and give your transparent parts the perfect clarity.

In 2006 CMT Materials moved into the location that it resides in Attleboro, MA to this day. With expanded warehouse and #manufacturing space, CMT could now greatly increase the number of ovens and other equipment needed to produce #HYTAC.

CMT Europe recently attended the @SPEThermo Europe Conference in Vienna. The #conference was an excellent opportunity to see familiar faces and to share knowledge amongst industry colleagues. We are looking forward to the next conference!

Did your production run increase from 500,000 to 3,000,000 parts - And it wasn't an April Fools Joke?! If you used a thermoplastic syntactic foam plug assist, like HYTAC-B1X or HYTAC-XTL, you could run millions of parts without any degradation.

As Portec searched for a U.S. #distributor, they met with the owners of CMT in 2000 and a #partnership was born. To this day, #Metapor has been an excellent material and we continue to enjoy working alongside Portec!

Do you need to prove out your mold and plug assist design? HYTAC-W/WF offer the ease of machining with a price that won't break the bank and is (usually) readily available. This entry level foam is an excellent material for a preproduction run to verify form, fit, and function

[CMT Materials @cmtmaterials]

In 2000, we were beginning to #outgrow the current location and our production was limited to what could fit inside the shop. Seeing a need for change, the owners re-located to #business to a new location in Attleboro, MA that would allow for more room and additional equipment.

[CMT Materials @cmtmaterials]

Are you new to #syntactic foam and don't know where to start? CMT typically recommends #HYTAC-FLX as a fantastic introduction to the syntactic foam world. FLX is very easy to machine, creates low dust, and is easy to modify. Makes you wonder - Why haven't you tried it yet?

[CMT Materials @cmtmaterials]

While CMT began to establish itself in the domestic #thermoforming industry, a whole new world (literally) would soon be opening its doors to our #HYTAC material. In 2000, CMT began working with several #export companies who would transport our material to international markets.

Do you struggle with parts that have a thin bottom, but thick sidewalls? Try out HYTAC-C1R. You need a plug assist that will pull the #plastic down to the bottom of the cavity without allowing it to slip down the side wall or adding any scratches in the process.
