Thin-wall Injection Molding Materials

PP

Polypropylene finds large-scale use in thin-wall injection molding due to high flowability, chemical resistance, and lightness. Polypropylene is particularly favorable for cost-effective mass production of disposable plastic products. PP is used extensively in food packaging, medical packaging, and domestic items. For instance, containers for yogurt, take-away package, and syringe barrels are generally made from PP due to their light weight and strength.

  • Mill Lead Time: Up to 5 days
  • Color: White, translucent, or custom colors
PP

PE

Polyethylene is rigid, tough, and chemically resistant and consequently highly suitable for a wide range of thin-wall uses. It is used in packaging, domestic consumer goods, and medical applications. PE is ubiquitous in squeeze bottles, flexible packs, and medical packing film. For instance, disposable specimen cups and soft drink covers utilize PE’s strength and flexibility.

  • Color: Natural, white, or custom colors
PE

PS

Polystyrene is a hard, transparent, and economical resin that can be easily processed and is extensively used in thin-wall injection molding. It is used in its end applications where high dimensional stability and transparency are critical. PS is extensively utilized in disposable tableware, CD boxes, and packaging trays. Transparent lids for food containers and light protection packaging materials often use PS to provide product visibility and integrity.

  • Mill Lead Time: Up to 4 days
  • Color: Clear, white, or custom colors
PS

PVC

PVC is a very versatile plastic that is resistant to chemicals, strong, and cheap. It can be utilized both in rigid and flexible thin-wall applications. Common uses include medical tubing, blister packs, and electrical insulation. An example is that PVC is often used for clear packaging shells of electronics and medical-grade IV bags due to its high resistance and processability.

PVC

ABS

Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) is a general-purpose thermoplastic emulsion polymer. It has extensive use in automotive parts, toys, and electronic housings due to the good chemical resistance against corrosive chemicals.

ABS is easy to machine and has a low melting point, therefore making it extremely easy to mold and form. It also possesses high impact strength, meaning that it is extremely convenient to use in applications that must endure substantial stress or pressure. These features account for why ABS is utilised on a large scale all over the world in a number of sectors.

Common applications: Enclosures

ABS

PC

Polycarbonate is resistant to heat, impact, and clarity and is suitable for thin-wall parts that need to be clear and robust. It is applied in optical lenses, medical devices, and protective enclosures. For instance, protective eyewear, electronic display covers, and diffusers for LED lights benefit from PC’s excellent optical and strength properties.
