Choosing the right materials is critical to the success of your injection molding projects. The materials listed here—ranging from high-impact plastics like ABS to biocompatible silicones like LSR—ensure precision, durability, and performance for your components. Whether you need strength for automotive parts, flexibility for medical devices, or heat resistance for industrial applications, these top materials meet strict industry standards, optimize cost, and enhance product longevity. Explore the table below to find the perfect material for your needs, and contact us for expert guidance or a custom quote.
| Plastic Type | Benefits | Application | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) | High impact resistance, good dimensional stability, easy to process. | Automotive parts, electronics housings, toys. | Flame-retardant grades available; avoid high temperatures (>80°C). |
| PP (Polypropylene) | Lightweight, chemical resistance, low cost, excellent flexibility. | Packaging, automotive components, medical devices. | UV-sensitive; add stabilizers for outdoor use. |
| PBT (Polybutylene Terephthalate) | High strength, heat resistance (up to 150°C), excellent electrical properties. | Electrical connectors, automotive parts, industrial gears. | Hydrolysis-sensitive; requires drying before processing. |
| PC (Polycarbonate) | High impact strength, transparency, heat resistance (up to 130°C). | Safety glasses, medical devices, automotive lenses. | Sensitive to scratches; use protective coatings for optics. |
| PE (Polyethylene) | Low cost, chemical resistance, flexibility, lightweight. | Packaging films, pipes, containers. | Low strength; not suitable for high-stress applications. |
| PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) | Cost-effective, flame-retardant, good weather resistance. | Pipes, cables, window frames, medical tubing. | Additives (plasticizers) affect flexibility; avoid high temperatures. |
| Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR) - Medical Grade | Biocompatible, high purity, excellent flexibility, sterilizable. | Medical tubing, seals, implants, baby products. | Must meet FDA/USP Class VI standards; requires cleanroom processing. |
| Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR) - Industrial Grade | High temperature resistance (up to 200°C), durability, chemical resistance. | Gaskets, O-rings, automotive seals. | Not biocompatible; avoid exposure to strong acids or bases. |
| High-Consistency Rubber (HCR) - General Purpose | Cost-effective, good tear strength, easy to mold. | Electrical insulation, industrial hoses, seals. | Requires high-pressure molding; sensitive to moisture during processing. |
| PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) | High strength, clarity, good barrier properties, recyclable. | Bottles, packaging, textile fibers. | Sensitive to moisture; requires drying before processing. |
| PS (Polystyrene) | Low cost, rigidity, good dimensional stability, easy to mold. | Disposable cutlery, packaging, insulation. | Brittle; not suitable for high-impact applications. |
| TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer) | Flexible, recyclable, good weather resistance, soft touch. | Grips, seals, medical devices, automotive interiors. | Limited heat resistance; avoid temperatures above 120°C. |
