Molding services create ceramic, composite, glass, rubber, plastic, silicone, or metal parts by combining solids or powders with liquids, or by pressing solid materials or powders into a die or form.
Plastic molding services use a number of different molding techniques to produce components, including thermoplastic and thermoset injection molding, blow molding (includes injection blow molding), rotational molding, thermoforming, structural foam molding, compression molding, resin transfer molding (RTM), and others.
Polymers and plastic materials are organic, synthetic or processed polymers that are supplied as raw materials or stock shapes. They typically consist of thermoplastic or thermosetting resins and can be made into many forms.
Thermoplastics and thermoplastic materials soften when heated and harden when cooled. They can withstand many heating and cooling cycles and are often suitable for recycling.
Thermosets and thermoset materials are crosslinked polymeric resins that are cured or set using heat or heat and pressure. They generally have a higher resistance to heat than thermoplastics.
Tubing is used to transport fluid and gas in pneumatic, hydraulic, or process applications. Tubing differs from pipe in that tubing's outside diameter or size is controlled and used for product designation.
