Precision molded thermoplastic parts are used in everything from catheters and IVD cartridges to drug-delivery systems. In fact, the vast majority of medical devices include precision molded ...

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, ...

A new testing method that identifies gas formation during the injection molding process helps to reduce mold deposits, according to engineering thermoplastics supplier Polyplastics Co. Ltd. The ...

Since the technology became broadly available in 2017, a growing number of injection molders have been learning how the iMFLUX low-pressure process can reduce both cycle times and reject rates, ...

Drying of plastic resin can be a key step in the injection molding process, since too much moisture can cause a number of processing problems. Most polymers exhibit at least some level of polarity and ...

Think you’ve squeezed the maximum weight and cycle time out of your injection-molded design? Users of MuCell microcellular-foam technology beg to differ. They’ve cut part weight 8 to 12% without major ...
