Material Abbreviation | Full Name | Manufacturing Process | Properties |
---|---|---|---|
Polyoxymethylene | Injection Molding | POM has high strength, hih rigidity, good elasticity and good wear resistance. Its mechanical properties are very close to that of metals. A hard, dense material with a smooth, shiny surface, yellowish or white. With good engineering strength and good lubricity, it is usually used to make gears and other parts with high strength requirements. | |
Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene | Injection Molding | Excellent in impact resistance, heat resistance, low temperature resistance, chemical resistance and electrical properties. It is characterized by stable processing, stable product size and good surface gloss with varied colors. It can also be used for secondary processing such as surface metallization, electroplating, hot pressing and bonding. It is an extremely versatile thermoplastic engineering plastic, and is also a main material for CNC machining prototypes. | |
Styrene Acrylonitrile Copolymer | Injection Molding | Styrene Acrylonitrile (SAN) is a copolymer plastic consisting of styrene and acrylonitrile. It is also known as SAN. It is widely used in place of polystyrene owing to its greater thermal resistance. | |
Ethylene Vinyl Acetate | Injection Molding | Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate (EVA), also known as poly (ethylene-vinyl acetate) (PEVA), is the copolymer of ethylene and vinyl acetate. popularly used for children's foam stickers, ski boots, bicycle saddles, hockey pads and etc.. | |
Polyethylene | Injection Molding | Polyethylene include Low Density Polyethylene, High Density Polyethylene and Low Linear Density Polyethylene. | |
Low Density Polyethylene | Injection Molding | Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) is a thermoplastic made from the monomer ethylene. LDPE is widely used for manufacturing various containers, dispensing bottles, wash bottles, tubing and etc.. | |
Low Linear Density Polyethylene | Injection Molding | Linear Low-density Polyethylene (LLDPE) is a substantially linear polymer (polyethylene), with significant numbers of short branches, commonly made by copolymerization of ethylene with longer-chain olefins. it is used for plastic bags and sheets, plastic wrap, stretch wrap, pouches, toys and etc.. | |
Polyamide | Injection Molding | Good mechanical strength, rigidity, heat resistance and wear resistance, and better creep resistance, but the impact strength and mechanical shock absorption performance are reduced. it is very responsive and resilient as well as relatively resistant to heat, UV rays and chemicals. | |
Polycarbonate | Injection Molding | An amorphous thermoplastic resin with excellent comprehensive performance and excellent electrical properties. Insulation, extensibility, dimensional stability and chemical resistance, high strength, heat resistance and cold resistance; also self-extinguishing, flame retardant, non-toxic, colorable, etc. | |
Polycarbonate/ABS Alloy | Injection Molding | Polycarbonate/Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (PC/ABS) is a blend of PC and ABS providing unique combination of the high processability of ABS with the excellent mechanical properties, impact and heat resistance of PC. | |
Polybutylene Terephtalate | Injection Molding | Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) is a thermoplastic engineering polymer that is used as an insulator in the electrical and electronics industries. It is a thermoplastic (semi-)crystalline polymer, and a type of polyester. | |
Polymethylmethacrylate (Acrylic) | Injection Molding | Commonly known as plexiglass, acrylic or acrylic, is the best in synthetic transparent materials to date, the transparency can reach more than 93%. The disadvantages of PMMA are poor toughness and fragility. If optical clarity is of extreme importance, than we will use Acrylic. | |
Polypropylene Homopolymer | Injection Molding | It is a high-density linear polymer with excellent comprehensive properties. It is white translucent and waxy when not colored. Good flexibility and not easy to break. PP surface is not suitable to be polished, not easy to color, so it is suitable for structural parts and not suitable for appearance parts. | |
Thermoplastic Polyurethan | Injection Molding | Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) is any of a class of polyurethane plastics with many properties, including elasticity, transparency, and resistance to oil, grease and abrasion. TPU has many applications including automotive instrument panels, caster wheels, power tools, sporting goods and etc.. | |
Thermoplastic elastomers/Rubber | Injection Molding | Thermoplastic Elastomers/Thermoplastic Rubber (TPE/TPR) compounds have high elasticity and are used in various applications. TPE/TPR compounds are processible through injection molding, blow molding and extrusion. | |
Other plastic material | Injection Molding | Null |
