For the Furnishings and all the Systems Present in our Homes
The construction and building sector requires materials that are durable, reliable, aesthetically pleasing, and compliant with numerous safety regulations. LATI offers technopolymers that ensure high performance in both water systems, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) and for technical parts used in furniture. Where required, LATI materials are available with certification for contact with potable water.
Water Systems and Water Supply
For fittings, valves, pumps, distributors, meters, faucets, LATAMID, LARTON, LARAMID, LATIGLOSS grades are available, ensuring robustness, precision, and stability in prolonged contact with water, even hot.
Key Topics:
- Certification for contact with potable water (NSF, WRAS, ACS, KTW), supported by studies on resistance to disinfectants and descalers.
- Replacement of brass with lightweight, mechanically strong, safe materials with excellent aesthetics and cost-effective alternatives to metal.
- Dimensional stability and chemical resistance even in the presence of hot water and steam under pressure.
Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning
For functional parts in boilers of all types, ventilation systems, exchangers, and heat pumps:
- LARTON, LARAMID, and LARPEEK wherever temperature resistance and resistance to hot and cold water, chemical aggressors, and combustible and technical gases are needed.
- Conductive and antistatic materials for safe management of oxidizer-fuel mixtures, for example inside burners and condensing boilers.
- Replacement of metal in structural elements, subjected to heat and mechanical stress such as fans of all sizes.
Furniture
For functional and aesthetic parts in furniture elements:
- LATIGLOSS to replace metal in visible structural applications, for example hinges, handles, tilting systems, hinges, supports.
- LATILUB for self-lubricating hinges, guides, practical and silent opening and sliding systems.
- Antimicrobial solutions for sanitary and public environments.

F.A.Q.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, LATI offers numerous compounds certified for contact with hot and cold potable water, perfect for making components of distributors, faucets, pumps, valves, etc.
To withstand thermal, mechanical, and chemical stresses, PPS, PPA, and PEEK-based compounds are suggested, available in self-lubricating or purely structural versions reinforced with glass or carbon fiber.
The presence of reinforcing fibers is perfectly hidden beneath the surface of elements molded in LATIGLOSS, a family of materials based on PA6, PA66, and PPA reinforced and designed specifically for visible finishes and colored, glossy, or satin surfaces.
