Plastic Injection Molding Materials
We work with a wide range of certified, traceable materials selected to match your performance, regulatory, and application requirements. Our engineers provide DFM guidance to optimize your plastic and metal parts design for manufacturing. Contact us or upload a CAD file for material options, instant quotes, and custom production solutions.
ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene)
One of the most widely used injection molding resins tough, impact-resistant, and easy to process with excellent surface finish and paint adhesion. Low cost and good dimensional stability. Used for electronic housings, automotive interior parts, toys, and consumer goods.
Polypropylene (PP)
A versatile, low-cost resin with excellent chemical resistance, fatigue endurance, and living-hinge capability. FDA-compliant grades available. Low density reduces part weight. Used for food containers, bottle caps, automotive components, hinges, and packaging.
HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene)
PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)
A cost-effective, flame-retardant resin with good chemical resistance and electrical insulation. Available in rigid (RPVC) and flexible formulations. Easy to extrude and injection mold. Used for pipe fittings, electrical connectors, window profiles, and medical tubing.
Nylon / Polyamide (PA6 / PA66)
A high-strength engineering resin with excellent wear resistance, low friction, and good thermal stability. Hygroscopic moisture increases toughness. Glass-filled grades boost stiffness and dimensional stability. Used for gears, bearings, connectors, and automotive under-hood parts.
Polycarbonate (PC)
An ultra-strong, transparent engineering resin with exceptional impact resistance (250× glass) and high heat deflection. Can be blended with ABS (PC/ABS) for improved processability. Used for safety goggles, headlight lenses, medical devices, bulletproof glass, and electronic enclosures.
POM / Acetal (Delrin)
A rigid, low-friction engineering resin with excellent dimensional stability, creep resistance, and fatigue endurance. Holds tight tolerances and resists moisture. Used for precision gears, bearings, bushings, conveyor components, zippers, and fuel system parts.
PEEK (Polyether Ether Ketone)
A premium high-performance polymer with outstanding heat resistance (up to 250°C), chemical resistance, and mechanical strength. Biocompatible and sterilizable. High material and processing cost. Used for medical implants, aerospace components, semiconductor parts, and oil & gas equipment.
PEEK (Polyether Ether Ketone)
A flexible, rubber-like resin with excellent elasticity, abrasion resistance, and shock absorption. Shore hardness ranges from 60A to 70D. Overmolds well onto rigid plastics. Used for gaskets, seals, grips, footwear soles, phone cases, and soft-touch components.
