Market Announcement
Dotmar Engineering Plastics Expands Capabilities with Fluoro Pacific Consolidation
Effective 1 September 2025
Dotmar Engineering Plastics is pleased to announce that Fluoro Pacific will begin its consolidation into Dotmar. This milestone strengthens our position as Australasia’s leading supplier of engineering plastics and fluoropolymer solutions and significantly expands our technical expertise, manufacturing capacity, and product offering. Full integration is expected to be completed by the end of 2025.
What This Means for Our Customers
Broader Material Access
Customers now have access to over 600 PTFE and PEEK fluoropolymer formulations. These are engineered to deliver the right balance of heat resistance, mechanical strength, chemical durability, and friction performance. Our expanded portfolio covers a wide range of fillers—including carbon, glass, bronze, graphite, MoS₂, ceramics, stainless steel, and carbon fibre—ensuring tailored solutions for even the most demanding applications.
Expanded Manufacturing Capability
Dotmar’s Sydney-based compression moulding facility produces sheet, rod, and cylinders using both hot and cold moulding. This flexibility sets us apart, offering:
- Low minimum order quantities – and in most cases you can order single units as required.
- Custom sizes – if it fits the mould, we can produce it.
- Near-net shapes – stock shapes made close to the finished machined size (FMS), reducing waste, machining time, and overall cost.
Complete Fluoropolymer Engineering Solutions
Dotmar now delivers end-to-end fluoropolymer capability—from material selection and design through to prototyping, machining, and project delivery. Our solutions cover:
- Components & Linings: PTFE bearing pads, tank linings, impact liners, conveyor skirts, wear strips, skidways, and pipe support linings.
- Custom Parts: Spray nozzles, mixer heads, and precision-machined PTFE & PEEK components.
- Lined Pipe & Fittings: Proven PTFE, FEP, and PFA systems for corrosive and chemically aggressive environments, including pipes, spools, elbows, tees, flanges, spacers, dip pipes, agitators, bellows, and custom bends.
Greater Technical & Testing Resources
The consolidation also brings a state-of-the-art in-house testing laboratory to Dotmar. Equipped for wear and abrasion testing, friction and permeation analysis, particle size distribution, material identification, and microscopic analysis, our lab strengthens our ability to support customer applications with data-driven assurance and technical expertise.
A Stronger Future Together
For over 50 years, Dotmar has been trusted to deliver precision, reliability, and innovation in engineering plastics. With the addition of Fluoro Pacific’s capabilities, we can now offer unmatched local manufacturing flexibility, a broader range of advanced fluoropolymers, and deeper technical support—helping our customers achieve more, with confidence.
