      Why we need to set mold protection to prevent damage? Beside the injection molding machine itself, the second most expensive piece of equipment we use on a daily basis is the mold. If the molds are damaged, you are not only responsible for the cost of maintenance, but also for downtime and labor costs.If done correctly, the mold can rest on something as thin as a business card.

Plastic Injection Molding Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)

PVC Injection Molding – PVC Plastic Molds & PVC Molded Parts PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) is one of the most commonly used materials in plastic injection molding, which is third-most widely produced synthetic plastic polymer thermoplastic. Due to the great unique properties (refractory, anti static, easy to be machined) and economical (low cost but high yield), both rigid and flexible PVC plastics are prized by many applications across a wide array of industries from construction, chemical processing, PVC blister packaging, health care equipment and household. Polyvinyl Chloride is a thermoplastic, can be easily injection molded and then subsequently recycled. Economical production cost combined with the above characteristics of the plastic, PVC injection molding has been one of the best and easiest choices for manufacturing a variety of plastic products
