A. INJECTION MOULDING
Injection Molding is a process in which molten
polymer is forced under high pressure into a mold
cavity through an opening (sprue).
Polypropylene (PP)
Polycarbonate (PC)
Nylon 6 (N6)
Injection Molding is used for manufacturing DVDs, pipe fittings, battery
casings, toothbrush bases, bottle lids, disposable razors, automobile
bumpers and dash boards, power-tool housing, television cabinets,
electrical switches, telephone handsets, automotive power brake,
automotive fascias, transmission, and electrical parts, mirror
housings, steam irons, washer pumps, spoilers, butter tubs, and
etc.
B. EXTRUSION MOULDING
Extrusion is a process of manufacturing long products
of constant cross-section (rods, sheets, pipes,
films, wire insulation coating) forcing soften
polymer through a die with an opening
