Overview
Injection blow moulding is used for the Production of hollow objects in large quantities. The main applications are bottles, jars and other containers. The Injection blow moulding process produces bottles of superior visual and dimensional quality compared to extrusion blow moulding. The process is ideal for both narrow and wide-mouthed containers and produces them fully finished with no flash.
Typical Materials Used:
Polyethylene (Low Density) LDPE, (LLDPE), Polypropylene (PP), Polyethylene – Terephthalate (PET), Polyvinyl chloride (PVC), Polyethylene (High Density) HDPE)
Typical Products Produced:
Plastic Bottles
Injection Moulding
Overview
Injection Moulding (or Molding to use the US spelling), along with extrusion ranks as one of the prime processes for producing plastics articles. It is a fast process and is used to produce large numbers of identical items from high precision engineering components to disposable consumer goods.
Typical Materials Used:
Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene (ABS), Nylon (PA), Polycarbonate (PC), Polypropylene (PP) and Polystyrene (GPPS)
Typical Products Produced:
Power-tool housing, Telephone handsets, Television Cabinets, Electrical Switches, DVDs, Automotive bumpers, Automotive dash boards, Battery Casings, Syringes, Drug Inhalation Units, Disposable razors, washing-up bowls, Wheelie bins, Crates/Recycling boxes and Bottle Lids/closures
Injection Moulding (Gas Assisted)
Overview
Developments over the past years in Gas Assisted Moulding or (Gas Assisted Molding to use the US spelling or Gas Injection Moulding being a common reference term) have resulted in advances in the way in which injection moulded components are manufactured. Enhanced quality, reduced cycle times and component weight reductions can be achieved by the process.
Typical Materials Used:
Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene
Typical Products Produced:
Power-tool housing, Telephone
