In general, plastics are classified as either thermoplastic or thermosetting plastics. Thermoplastic materials form easily with pressure and heat, which then become solid upon cooling. These […]
Heat resistant materials are important for components that need to withstand high temperatures, whether the heat is generated artificially – as is the case with materials […]
Composite materials are made by combining two or more substances with differing physical properties. The best composites are made from materials that complement each other, combining […]
Plastics encompass a wide array of materials and molding processes used to create finished parts. Typical injection molding involves heating thermoplastic or thermosetting plastic polymers and […]
Custom plastic parts require production methods and tools that can deliver with precision. If one measurement, trim pattern, or hole is off even slightly throughout that […]
It’s no secret that both thermosetting plastics and thermoplastics play a significant role in the world today, but with so many different material properties, it can […]
For plastic molding projects, the quality and performance of a finished product start with its design. Several molding processes, like Resin Transfer Molding (RTM) and Reaction […]
Polydicyclopentadiene (pDCPD) is a highly engineered thermoset polymer with exceptional physical properties including plastic impact resistance, chemical and corrosion resistance, impact strength, stiffness, and heat resistance. […]
Reaction Injection Molded (RIM) components feature a combination of unique physical properties not found in thermoplastics or metal. Incredible impact and corrosion resistance makes RIM-molded thermosetting […]
