Deflashing PPS Molded Parts Introduction PPS, also known as Polyphenylene Sulfide, is a high-performance thermoplastic polymer known for its excellent thermal and chemical resistance properties. It is a type of engineering plastic that belongs to the family of sulfide polymers. PPS plastic has several notable characteristics that make it suitable for various applications: Thermal Resistance: […]
Deflashing Nylatron Introduction to Nylatron Nylatron is a brand name for a family of engineering thermoplastic materials that are based on nylon (specifically, nylon 6 or nylon 6/6). It is a type of nylon with enhanced mechanical properties, making it suitable for demanding applications that require high strength, wear resistance, and dimensional stability. […]
Injection mold cleaning can reduce part defects and improve cycle times. If injection molds aren’t cleaned properly, however, residual materials can cause part discoloration and require rework. If the cooling channels of an injection mold become clogged, slower cooling rates may result. Over high volumes of molded plastic or rubber parts, even seconds of longer […]
Deflashing EPDM Rubber Introduction EPDM stands for Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer, which is a type of synthetic rubber. EPDM rubber is made from a mixture of ethylene, propylene, and diene monomers. The resulting material is highly resistant to weather, ozone, UV rays, and other environmental factors, making it an ideal choice for outdoor applications. EPDM […]
Introduction Buna-N, also known as Nitrile rubber) is a synthetic rubber polymer made from the copolymerization of acrylonitrile and butadiene. It is one of the most commonly used elastomers due to its excellent resistance to oils, fuels, and chemicals. Buna-N rubber has a high resistance to abrasion and is also highly durable, making it an […]
