The Top 5 Industrial Applications of Injection Molding

plastic syringes made by plastic injection molding

Plastic components have an array of applications across a variety of industries—thanks to their high versatility. Numerous industries benefit from custom plastic molds because they can be designed to exact client specifications and design requirements.

Here, we discuss 5 industrial applications of plastic injection molding:

1. Consumer products

Making consumer products is one of the main uses for injection molding. For instance, toy companies use injection molding to build identical, versatile, and durable plastic products. Other companies use injection molding to make automotive parts, electronic devices, and household items.

Since injection molding can craft items with flowing lines, detailed designs, and specialized textures, it’s attractive to people in the consumer products industry.

2. Food and beverage

Any product made to store or process foods must adhere to FDA (Food and Drug Administration) standards. By producing products with food-grade plastics and materials, injection molding allows the food and beverage companies to comply with these standards. Many companies in this industry use injection molding for making containers and beverage over caps, beverage filter components, conveyor systems, and manufacturing processing equipment.

3. Telecommunications

This industry uses tons of fiber optic cables to transmit information and data throughout the world. Since these cables require specialized parts and adapters to function, injection molding is vital for this industry.

Most injection molding companies supply the telecommunications industry with adapters, plastic attachments, and other parts to ensure the growing telecommunications industry can provide customers with fiber-optic connectivity.

4. Medical

Medical companies use injection molding to produce medical research tools, X-Ray components, stethoscope parts, surgical prep products, device packaging, and diagnostic test kits. Healthcare professionals in the medical industry depend on injection molding to ensure their devices are made to the highest quality standards.

5. Pharmaceutical

The pharmaceutical industry depends on injection molding for a variety of purposes. In the pharmaceutical industry, injection molding is used to create a range of products, including syringes and eyedroppers. Since the pharmaceutical industry needs products to meet high standards for uniformity, quality, and sterilization, plastic injection molding is perfect. With injection molding, any plastic product can be manufactured to meet government and industry standards.

4 Types of Injection Molding Technology

Image
From elaborate designs to simple products, injection molding can be used to make full production runs in the millions, a small number of prototypes, or anything in between. There are several injection molding technologies available to manufacture your next products. Here, we highlight 4 technologies that you may use to bring your product to life with higher quality in a shorter time. 1. Liquid silicone injection molding Thermoset is the majority of injection molding, meaning a part is created by injecting cold material into a very hot mold. In this process, the part is cured so it can never melt again. However, if you need a part to tolerate chemical agents or extremely high temperatures (as you might with certain car parts or medical devices), you may need thermoplastic injection molding , which uses liquid silicone frequently. 2. Metal injection molding Metals can also be injection molded. This new technology is considerably costlier than plastic injection molding and typically ser

Plastic Injection Molding: Benefits and Limitations

Image
One of the most commonly used methods of manufacturing identical plastic products in bulk is injection molding. However, like every process, it’s important to understand the specific design restrictions that must be considered to facilitate the obvious benefits of successfully producing high-quality, cost-effective parts. Here, we talk about the benefits and limitations of plastic injection molding: Benefits Low cost per part Although the initial high investment for the plastic injection molding tool is high, the cost per part is pretty low. While other plastic processing techniques may need a number of operations, such as polishing, injection molding can do everything at once. If you decide to do CNC machine apart, it may be costly. Injection molding will be your best bet if you’re looking to go into full production. High repeatability Once you’re done making mold tools, it’s possible to produce similar products repeatedly. The mold life of a decently made mold is quite lengthy – as

Double Injection Molding | PTMS

Image
Our company have much experience in  double injection molding  mass production since 2010. Double means double color, or double different plastic resin, it is also called double molding. In the fact, the cost of double parts is very expensive at this stage, because injection machine cost is very high, it needs double injection machine to produce the mass production. The machine has two hoppers for the different materials or colors, this cost is very expensive, but the double parts look very nice. The application of this injection is just limited, because it is not widely used in the different industries right now, so the cost cannot be cut down. The less, the little, the high cost we think. Here is a product made by double injection molding, it looks like a two-color basket, it is made of white hard glue PP and red soft glue TPE, the two different plastic resin is food grade, the soft TPE can be foldable, this part is portable and durable, but the mold is very simple, not very difficul
