Plastic injection molding is a great production method because it is inexpensive and has a strong breakage resistance. No matter the size or scope of your project, we have the relations to subcontract your product to our reliable Vietnamese supplier network. From automotive and medical parts to electronics and solar
Plastic injection molding excels at producing large quantities of parts quickly and consistently. The cycle times are typically short, leading to high production rates and reduced costs per unit, especially for large-scale projects.
The process can create parts with intricate shapes, fine details, and varying wall thicknesses that would be challenging or impossible to achieve with other manufacturing methods. This design flexibility allows for greater innovation and product differentiation.
A wide range of thermoplastic and thermosetting materials can be used in injection molding, each with unique properties to suit specific applications. This material diversity enables manufacturers to tailor parts to meet precise performance requirements.
Injection-molded parts exhibit excellent strength, stiffness, and impact resistance, ensuring durability and longevity in demanding environments.
The high production rates, automation potential, and minimal material waste contribute to injection molding’s cost-effectiveness, making it an attractive option for businesses of all sizes.
ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) is one of the most prevalent thermoplastics in injection molding, known for its excellent impact resistance and toughness. Its properties include:
However, ABS has limitations. It does not perform well in environments requiring high chemical resistance or UV protection, which can limit its use in certain applications. Additionally, ABS is not recommended for food contact applications due to potential health risks.
Celcon, a common brand name for Acetal, offers excellent surface lubricity, creep resistance (memory), and chemical solvent resistance. Ideal for food and beverage, mechanical, automotive, and household applications, this is our resin of choice for manufacturing K’NEX toy parts, as well as gears and bearings. It’s also often used in automotive applications and household appliances. It should not be used for applications in high-heat environments.
Polypropylene is known for its flexibility in packaging, fluid management and processing, and household goods, as well as some automotive applications. While polypropylene is flammable and vulnerable to UV radiation, it still offers good resistance to chemical solvents and electricity. Most grades of Polypropylene are flammable and degraded by UV radiation.
High Impact Polystyrene (HIPS) provides tough, low-cost performance and highly customizable surfaces: it can be printed, glued, bonded, and decorated easily. This material is especially popular in merchandising applications and displays, printed graphics and prototypes. Although flammable, flame-retardant varieties are available.
The most flexible version of polyethylene, LDPE, offers moisture resistance and high impact strength. You can find LDPE in many consumer goods, housewares, medical products, and electronic wiring. However, it can be difficult to bond and isn’t suitable for harsh weather or high-temperature applications
To ensure you select the right resin for your project, keep in mind the following variables:
Evaluate the required impact strength based on the application. Materials like ABS and HIPS provide excellent durability, while others may need to be assessed for their suitability based on specific stress conditions.
Understand the ultimate tensile strength of the material, which indicates its resistance to tension. This is essential for components expected to bear loads without failure.
This property measures how much a material can bend without damage. For applications requiring flexibility, materials like LDPE and PP may be ideal.
For projects requiring heat resistance, knowing the heat deflection temperature is vital. This factor determines the material’s performance under varying temperature ranges.
Consider the material’s water absorption rate, especially for applications exposed to moisture. Materials with lower absorption rates are preferable for water-sensitive environments.
