Custom Injection Molding Services

HDPE’s (High-Density Polyethylene) main advantage is in its name – a high strength-to-density ratio. With it, parts can be made or used in machinery parts and packaging products (bottles and tanks).  HDPE is UV resistant, which makes it ideal for harsh environment applications.

Standard color options: Natural (milky white), black, blue, green

HIPS (High Impact Polystyrene) is used to make containers, trays, and interior car trims. HIPS doesn’t crack easily on impact.  HIPs is affordable and easy to mold. Post processing may not be necessary because HIPs produces cleaner and aesthetic surface finishes.

Standard color options: White, black, natural, custom colors

LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene) is waterproof and resistant to harsh chemicals. It has a low melting point, which makes it ideal for tamper-proof heat sealing applications. It’s used to make plastic bags, film wraps and plastic bottles.

Standard color options: Natural (semi-transparent), black, white

Nylon’s use is restricted to applications that demand a combination of physical rigidity, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance. However, the material’s hygroscopic nature can affect its dimensional stability during molding. Common nylon applications include gears, bearings, and fasteners.

Standard color options: Natural (off-white), black, custom colors available

PBT (Polybutylene Terephthalate) is an excellent injection molding material for strength and ease of manufacturing.  Its applications include electrical insulation and switches, and sensors. PBT parts are relatively immune to chemical corrosion.

Standard color options: Black, natural, gray, custom colors available

Polycarbonate is used to make high optical clarity parts like camera lenses and safety goggles. But it’s also heat-resistant, which means it can be used in electrical enclosures and machine guards without risking worker safety.

Standard color options: Clear, gray, black, blue

Polyethylene is useful in lightweight applications like containers, plastic sheets and packaging films. As we’ve seen, there are two versions of PE, including LDPE and HDPE. PE resists corrosion even in environments with high chemical exposure.

Standard color options: Natural, black, white, green

PEEK is a top performer in high-risk applications like medical implants, automotive gear, and aerospace vibration dampeners. It can survive exposure to high heat and mechanical, and chemical stress without showing any signs of weakness.

Standard color options: Natural (beige), black (with filler)

When engineers need a reliable material for aerospace ducting or electrical connector manufacturing, PEI is a popular top choice. Its strength is unyielding even when applications involve extreme heat and high mechanical stress. PEI can help you meet regulatory requirements for high-risk applications faster.

Standard color options: Amber, transparent brown, custom tints

PET works great in clear plastics injection molding applications like food containers and water bottles. The FDA and ESA have both rubberstamped it as a food-safe material, so that means fewer compliance complications with your product. PET can survive a moderate amount of chemical exposure. It’s recyclable, hence good for the environment.

Standard color options: Clear, green, blue, amber

PMMA (Polymethyl Methacrylate), also known as acrylic, delivers peak clarity in transparent plastics injection molding applications. It’s also robust yet lightweight and doesn’t discolor easily when exposed to UV light.  PMMA uses cases include windows, aquariums, and windscreens.

Standard color options: Clear, black, white, frosted

POM is robust and resistant to friction, mechanical stress, and chemical corrosion. It performs well in high-precision applications like conveyor parts and fuel system components. POM injection molding processes are seamless and incident-free. There is no warping because the material has high dimensional stability.

Standard color options: Black, white, natural

Polypropylene’s anti-fragile internal structure makes it great for frequently used products like hinges and containers. PP is resistant to chemicals and moisture and is very structurally flexible.

Standard color options: Natural, white, gray, black

PPS (Polyphenylene Sulfide) is used to manufacture of pumps, electronics, and car engine components. It can survive exposure to corrosive chemicals and high heat. PPS’s mechanical strength remains high even in high-temperature conditions.

Standard color options: Brown, black, natural

Polystyrene is tough, although not as hard or strong as PPS. Its biggest advantages are high optical clarity and an easier injection molding process. PS is used to manufacture disposable utensils, CD cases, and food trays.

Standard color options: Clear, white, black

PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) is affordable, durable and strong. It can withstand long hours of exposure to heat and direct flames. Its flexibility makes it a mainstay in construction and medical field applications, including window frames and IV bags.

Standard color options: Gray, white, clear, blue

Polycarbonate

If you trace the materials in any pair of reading glasses or sunglasses, you’ll probably discover Polycarbonate. This resin is also used to manufacture light housings and crowd control equipment for law enforcement. It is optically clear, super strong, and resistant to impact.

Standard color options: Clear, smoke, blue, gray

Silicone rubber injection molding meets high demand across applications like baby nipples and medical tubes, and sealing gaskets. Rubber guarantees robust flexibility in these products with excellent levels of heat tolerance. Silicone is biocompatible. It’s safe to use in applications that involve direct contact with food or skin.

Standard color options: Translucent, red, blue, white

TPU’s (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) greatest advantages include the high elasticity and corrosion resistance in high stress applications. It is commonly used to make hoses, shoe soles, and cable jackets. It’s tough and delivers the advantages of both plastic and rubber materials in one.

Standard Color options: Clear, black, gray, blue

TPV (Thermoplastic Vulcanizate) is a rubber-like elastomer that combines flexibility with excellent weather and chemical resistance properties. It is ideal for parts requiring a soft touch or exposure to outdoor environments.

Standard color options: Black, gray, custom colors
