Cherry Pipes Ltd. are carrying out research into various aspects of extrusion and materials in conjunction with the Polymer Processing and Research Centre at Queens University Belfast.

The PPRC builds on well established expertise at Queen's in rotational moulding and polymer extrusion by extending into complementary research areas of injection moulding, blow moulding and thermoforming. A comprehensive testing and analysis facility, to service industrial requirements and support research projects forms an integral part of the Centre.

The PPRC provides the expertise and facilities required to undertake fundamental and applied research in polymer processing, reflecting the priorities of the plastics industry. It covers all aspects of polymer processing including studies on: morphology, micro-structure, process control, rheology and physical properties.
