Information Presentation

Most common manufacturing method for

plastic components

Uses thermoplastic – a kind of plastic (aka

polymers) that can be softened or melted to

mold by heat, and then cooled to retain the

shape

Thermoplastic molding is a versatile

manufacturing process

Each process offers specific benefits

LCP Molding

Acetal Molding

ABB Plastic Molding

Liquid Crystal Polymers Molding

Great for micro- and thin-walled components

Homopolymer

Copolymer

Best used when abrasion resistance and low

friction coefficient characteristics are

necessary

Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene Molding

Excellent chemical resistance

Good electrical properties

Strength and rigidity

Virtually all plastic components requiring

thermoplastic such as:

Automobile parts

Medical devices

Electronic instruments

Parts of all sizes

Injection molding, insert molding, reel to

reel, and over-molding

Horizontal machines ranging from 60 to 170

ton, 2 to 18 oz.

Vertical rotary machines ranging from 28 to

220 ton, 1 to 8.5 oz.

Reel to reel vertical machines ranging from

30 to 100 ton, 0.3 to 3.6 oz.

Micro molding machines ranging from around

9 to 15 grams

PPA: Polyphthalamid

HDPE High Density Polyethylene

PBT Polybutylene

LCP Liquid Crystal Polymer

Nylon (Poylamide)

Other resins including PEEK
