First, let’s establish that every process must follow normal scientific molding protocol. With pack and hold at zero, the shot should be 95 to 98% full. Temperatures and pressures should be kept as ...

Plastics processing is a complex system of dialing in and maintaining quality parts as efficiently as possible. Companies with solid process setups start presses quickly, producing no more than three ...

Most of the plastic products we use are made through injection molding, a process in which molten plastic is injected into a ...

The global market for plastic injection molded parts is currently valued at $325 billion, and this number is expected to grow by 5.7% through at least 2025. Spurred by the rapidly developing economies ...

Purging a plastic injection molding machine with resin or regrind for color changes or carbon removal often leads to costly waste and lost production time. Along with the right purging compound, there ...

The plastics industry continues to seek solutions to help it meet circular economy demands. As pressure builds for the industry to increase the amount of recycled plastics used in manufacturing, ...

Drying of plastic resin can be a key step in the injection molding process, since too much moisture can cause a number of processing problems. Most polymers exhibit at least some level of polarity and ...
