THERMOFORMING & HEAT PRESSES
Thermoforming is one of the oldest methods of processing plastic materials. No alternative process can match the low cost, ease of tooling, efficiency and speed of replication for prototyping and small series of certain shapes. One of the main benefits of vacuum forming is the speed at which tooling can be produced and the cost compared to injection moulding is substantially cheaper.
Born from the specific requirements of heat transfer materials, Hotronix® has been taking the guesswork out of heat application since the 1980s. Now stronger and more advanced than ever, Hotronix® continues to engineer and produce the world’s best-selling heat presses and accessories.

CLASSROOM COVID SAFETY Surface Disinfection EnozoPRO Spray Bottle offers a water-based alternative to traditional cleaners, deodorizers and sanitizers. Using revolutionary technology, EnozoPRO kills 99.9% of common germs and pathogens in only 30 seconds. Inside the spray bottle is a state-of-the-art electrolytic cell that turns normal tap water into aqueous ozone (AO) – nature’s most powerful sanitizer. EnozoPRO can replace many cleaners, including hard surface cleaners, glass cleaners, stainless steel cleaners, room deodorizers and more.
Active Air Filtration & Disinfection Halo Smart Purification Stations are a complete air treatment system for room level mitigation. 99.995% clean air for workspaces, meeting rooms, restaurants, gyms, etc. With Halo Smart, Erlab has created market-leading professional solutions for purifying the air in enclosed spaces where people gather.
Passive Air Disinfection Breath Safe and Easy Ion Distribution Systems use bipolar Ionization to deactivate pathogens, reduce odors and airborne contaminants in places where human interactions occur. They are effective against viruses, mold, odors are more, including Covid-19. These units are more cost efficient and cover a larger area than the Halo units, but they are passive systems, so they are only appropriate where good ventilation already exists. Additionally, they do not offer HEPA grade filtration.
