Better Injection Molding Through Bubbles
Adding supercritical gases to polymer melts brings high quality parts that are lightweight and cost less to make. Think you've squeezed the maximum weight and cycle time out of your injection-molded design? Users of MuCell microcellular-foam technology beg to differ. They've cut part weight 8 to 12

Polyester
preforms for high-volume production of moderate-sized,intricate parts; cold-press molding for smaller components; pultrusion for constant-section shapes; and resin-injection molding, also called resin-transfer molding,a low-pressure method for intermediate production quantities. Polyesters are also

Zinc
Zinc, a crystalline metal with moderate strength and ductility, is seldom used alone except as a coating. In addition to its metal and alloy forms, zinc also extends the life of other materials such as steel (by hot dipping or electrogalvanizing), rubber and plastics (as an aging inhibitor

" and occasionally a "die" because the moulds are made by an older, traditional "Tool and Die" industry. The tool has two (or sometimes three) "halves" known as "male" and "female" or "punch" and "cavity", again from metal press tools. The basic parts of an injection moulding machine are the "platens
