Thermoplastic injection molding uses heated plastic resin injected into a mold to create parts for various industries. Molds can be made of steel or aluminum and can be pre-cut using sophisticated tooling procedures. Manufacturers can experiment with variations in the process to optimize their results. Thermoplastic injection molding is a process used in manufacturing to […]
Thermoplastic resin is a polymer that becomes fluid when heated and solidifies when cooled, used in molding processes such as injection molding to create consumer products. It dates back to the mid-1800s and is commonly used in polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, polyester, polystyrene, and polycarbonate. Injection molding is the most common use, but it can […]
Thermoplastics are plastic made from polymer resins that become liquid when heated and hard when cooled. They are recyclable and come in many types, including polyurethane, polypropylene, polycarbonate, and acrylic. They differ from thermosetting plastics and elastomers and can be made more pliable with plasticizers. They are used in everyday life, such as in sports […]
