  • What type of plastic is used for injection molding?

Injection molding primarily uses thermoplastics, which are polymers that can be melted, injected into a mold, and cooled to form solid parts, allowing for high-volume production and recyclability. Thermosets (like epoxies) can sometimes be used but are less common due to their irreversible curing process. 

Below is a summary of the most common thermoplastics used in injection molding, based on their popularity, properties, and applications.

Material selection depends on factors like part requirements, cost, and environmental conditions. For specific projects, consult a manufacturer for compatibility and processing details.
