Injection molding is a process used to produce plastic parts by injecting molten material into a mold. The injection molding process is suitable for producing intricate and complex parts with close dimensional tolerances and enhanced surface finishes. The molding process begins with pellets of pla......
Plastic materials come in different shapes and sizes, and most of them have different properties that make them ideal for specific applications. Each type of plastic material is commonly called by an acronym or abbreviation to identify it in the industry. Here is a list of commonly used plastics a......
General Introduction to Plastics
Plastics are a group of synthetic or semi-synthetic materials that are malleable and can be molded into a variety of shapes when heated. They are typically organic polymers of high molecular mass and often contain other substances to improve their properties and p......
Plastic Raw Materials
Plastics are a class of man-made products composed of polymersized materials made from monomer precursors. Plastic raw materials are the components used to make up these polymers products. The most common of these raw materials include polypropylene, polyethylene, fluoropoly......
Introduction to Plastics
Plastics are polymersized molecules composed of at least two differently bonded carbon atoms linked in a chain. The molecules form polymers chains with a repeating number of atoms, or residues, which is why plastic polymers are classified by their chemical composition. Th......
