Production Methods

Rod Casting

The most widely used method of button production. The resin is poured in rods, hardened and then sliced and engraved into buttons.

High efficiency
Standard button production
Economic production

Centrifugal Casting

Production of hollow or special shaped buttons by centrifugal casting. Homogeneous distribution is achieved by centrifugal force.

Hollow buttons
Special shapes
Homogeneous structure
