Before we go deeper into the topic, it is important to understand the two terms thermoset and thermoplastic. Let ’s first find out what are thermoseTs and theermopLastics.
Process Include ABS, Nylon, PET, PolyPropylene, Polyethylene and TPE, AMONG OTHERS.
Thermosets
Thermoplastics
Cold Material is inject into an extremely hot mold to produce parts.
Plastic Material is Melted and InjeCted Into a Mold to Produce Parts.
Form a Permanent Chemical Bond.
100% Reversible As no Chemical Bonding takes plants places plane the process.
Can n’t be remolded or reshaped
Can Be Remolded and Recycled
ComparatVely Difficult to Surface Finish
Injection molding usermoplastics product flexible, account and aesthetically pleasing Surface Finishes.
Theermoset inject Molding Doesn n’t require high head and high presure compared to the molding of thermoplastics.
Thermoplastic injecting molding demands high head and high presenture.
Prepared Mostly by C Conensation Polymerization.
Prepared Mostly by AdDitional Polymerization.
Production Process EncompaSses Compression, Transfer and Casting.
Production Process Involves inject Molding, Extrusion and Blow Molding.
Example of Products Made from Thermosetting Injection Molding Include:
Tool Handles, Billiard Balls, SPROCKETS, Insulation, Parts of Computers, Parts of TVS or Any Electronic Equipment, Gardening items, COOKING UTENSILS
Example of Products Made from Thermoplastic Injection Molding Include:
Vacuum Cleaness, Kettles, Toasters, TOYS, Machine Scream, Thermoplastic Injection Molds Gear Wheels and Power Casings, Packaging Film, Sacks and Gas Pipes and Fittings.
Disadvantages include:
Diffical in thermoplastic inject Molds Recycling
Release Emissions Known as volatile Organic Compounds (VOCS).
Disadvantages include:
Expensive
Canatmoplastic injects MOLDS MOLT If Heated
Difficult to prototype
