FAQ's ABOUT OUR PLASTIC
INJECTION MOLDING SERVICES
Granules of plastic material are fed into a heated barrel for melting. Once melted, the plastic is injected into a mold and then allowed to cool. When the part has solidified, the form opens, and the part is ejected.
Originally, 3D printing and plastic injection molding were viewed as competing technologies, but factors such as run volume, part complexity, and material all factor into determining which method is best for a particular part. While 3D printing offers convenience and speed, injection molding is still the champion of combining quality with value. Injection molding is prized for creating high-volume, complex parts. 3D printing is a better option for lower production runs, quick turnaround times, and designs with frequent changes.
Polycarbonate is the strongest plastic material. It is 200 times stronger than glass and is used in buildings because of its impact and temperature resistant qualities.
Some of the most popular types of plastic molding are injection molding, blow molding, rotational molding, and thermoforming.
Plastic Injection Molding SOLUTIONS
ABS
Injection Molding
ABS is a thermoplastic polymer that can be heated to its melting point multiple times without degrading. It has a strong resistance to corrosive chemicals and physical impact.
HDPE
Injection Molding
HDPE is one of the most versatile plastics in existence. It’s prized for its impeccable tensile strength, high melting point, and high strength-to-density ratio.
LDPE
Injection Molding
LDPE is soft, lightweight plastic. It is easy to form but has little structural strength and low tolerance to temperature.
PE
Injection Molding
PE is one of the most widely used plastics. Its popularity comes from its strength to weight ratio, is considered a food-safe plastic, and has good insulation properties.
PEEK
Injection Molding
PEEK is a high-performance plastic that is chemical resistant and offers dimensional stability. It also has the unique ability to maintain stiffness at temperatures exceeding 300°F.
POM
Injection Molding
POM has high rigidity, mechanical strength, and resistance to wear, which makes it a good option to produce precision parts with high lubricity.
PP
Injection Molding
PP is known for its high chemical & fatigue resistance and toughness. It’s commonly used for electric components because of its high electrical resistance.
