Due to our privacy policy, we regret to inform you that we are unable to provide physical photos or information. Your understanding is greatly appreciated.

Plastic injection molding utilizes thermal energy to heat raw materials to a molten state. The molten plastic is then injected into molds, and the cooling system is employed to solidify the material, ultimately yielding the final product. Molds can be equipped with sliding mechanisms, making them suitable for the production of structurally complex items.

In addition to the inherent characteristics of the raw materials, various material combinations with different percentages can create "Modified plastics (Composite plastics)" enhancing the product's rigidity or toughness. For example, Nylon+Glass Fibers, POM+PTFE, TPR+TPV, and so forth.

Furthermore, we provide Insert molding (metal parts) and overmolding, such as the application of a first layer of PP and a second layer of TPR material.

SPPIA recommends suitable materials based on the product's usage environment and customer demands, serving a wide range of industries, including horticulture industry, water hardware industry, toolbox manufacturers, construction hardware industry, curtain industry, textile equipment manufacturers, extreme sports industry, airsoft manufacturers, household goods and so on.

SPPIA-general plastic and engineering plastic

Plastic injection falls under the category of "Thermoplastic plastics" and can be further classified into general plastics, engineering plastics, and advanced engineering plastics.
General plastics: Suitable for daily necessities, they exhibit temperature resistance of approximately 100°C or below.
Engineering plastics: Possessing characteristics such as abrasion resistance and chemical resistance, these plastics can withstand temperatures ranging from approximately 100 to 150°C.
Advanced engineering plastics: Demonstrating excellent chemical resistance and heat resistance, these plastics can endure temperatures ranging from approximately 150 to 300°C.

Plastics are polymers with a monomeric molecular structure, giving rise to both "Amorphous" and "Crystalline" plastic materials based on their structure and properties.

	Amorphous	Crystalline
Molecular chain	Random and jumbled	Organized and oriented
Shrinkage	Lower	Higher
Transparency	Higher	Lower
Feature	High impact resistance	Higher heat resistance and chemical resistance
