Injection Molding Materials
Choosing the right injection molding material can make or break your project. Our comprehensive guide helps you quickly compare options based on strength, flexibility, and heat resistance, so you can confidently select the ideal material for prototypes, production parts, or custom designs—ensuring high-quality results every time.
PTFE
Type: PTFE
Temperature Resistance, Corrosion Resistance, low friction Coefficient, Aging Resistance
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), commonly known as Teflon, is a high-performance fluoropolymer. It is frequently used in mechanical components requiring reduced friction and wear—such as bearings, gears, and piston rings—due to its non-stick properties, low friction characteristics, and self-lubricating capabilities. PTFE also exhibits excellent electrical insulation properties, making it highly suitable for applications like high-frequency cables, high-voltage insulators, and electronic components.
Additionally, PTFE maintains stable performance during long-term use across an extreme temperature range from -200°C (ultra-low temperature) to 260°C (high temperature), enabling its use in harsh environments such as aerospace systems, deep-sea equipment, and high-temperature industrial apparatus.
LDPE
Type: LDPE
Corrosion Resistance, Toughness, Electrical Insulation
Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) is lighter than water, soft and tough, with excellent acid and alkali resistance as well as electrical insulation properties. It is widely used in fields such as packaging, agriculture, electronics, and daily necessities.
HDPE
Type: HDPE
Corrosion Resistance, Strength, Electrical Insulation
High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) is a lightweight, chemically resistant, and high-strength material. It is flexible and tough, commonly used in applications such as food packaging (e.g., food containers), agricultural films, daily necessities (e.g., storage boxes), and water tanks.
PET
Type: PET
Corrosion Resistance, Strength, High Transparency, Processability
PET (polyethylene terephthalate) is a common thermoplastic polyester with excellent mechanical properties and strong chemical resistance. It also offers glass-like transparency and luster, with a high light transmittance of about 88–92%, and is widely used in beverage bottles, food packaging, and engineering plastics.
PEEK
Type: PEEK
Impact Resistance, Chemical Resistant, Food Grade, High Temp, Sterilizable
PEEK (Polyetheretherketone) is a top-performing thermoplastic engineering plastic, featuring excellent high-temperature resistance, robust mechanical properties, versatile corrosion resistance, top-tier biocompatibility, exceptional dimensional stability, and outstanding electrical insulation and radiation resistance. It is widely used in high-end fields such as aerospace, high-end medical care, and electronic semiconductors.
