Most of the plastic products we use are made through injection molding, a process in which molten plastic is injected into a ...

Managing polymer melts and temperature variations is key to achieving product quality and operational efficiency.

Purging a plastic injection molding machine with resin or regrind for color changes or carbon removal often leads to costly waste and lost production time. Along with the right purging compound, there ...

Because so much shrinkage happens during the injection molding of semi-crystalline thermoplastics, these materials usually require longer hold times. In standard injection molding processes, applying ...

During the injection molding process, harsh conditions (high temperature, high speed) and deterioration of plastic additives can release high volumes of decomposition gases. Mold deposits, gas burns, ...

For the first time, thin-walled containers made of PET, specifically recycled PET (rPET), can be produced in a single injection-molding process step. Featuring a wall thickness of 0.32mm/0.013 inch, ...

An injection molded, threaded cap made from a 3D-printed metal mold insert, right, created on a Mantle P-200 machine. Within reach of you right now are probably five to 10 plastic products, or parts ...

The color gradient in projected plastic samples reveals internal residual stress. The increasingly competitive nature of manufacturing is driving the search for technologies that offer OEMs advanced ...

ProMed, a contract manufacturer specializing in liquid silicone rubber (LSR) and highly regulated combination products, has announced new process refinements in the LSR injection molding process ...
