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.

  • High-impact polystyrene (HIPS) plastic material used for durable and cost-effective injection molded parts

    HIPS

    Type: HIPS

    Impact Resistance, Economical, Electrical Insulation

    High Impact Polystyrene (HIPS) is a low-cost and easily processable plastic material. It is often used in the manufacturing of low-strength structural components in scenarios where comprehensive requirements for a material’s impact resistance, processability, and cost are required. Additionally, with its excellent dimensional stability and ease of being painted and bonded, it has become an ideal material for prototyping.

  • PTFE injection molding plastic material — high-performance, chemical-resistant, heat-resistant, and durable plastic for precision-molded components.

    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.

  • Machined ABS part on CNC

    ABS

    Type: ABS

    Strength, Economical, Processability

    ABS (Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene Copolymer) is a well-balanced engineering plastic with good mechanical properties, excellent impact resistance, and easy processability. These characteristics have led to its widespread application in fields such as consumer electronics, household appliances, automotive industry, and daily necessities.

  • PVC injection molding plastic material — durable, chemical-resistant polymer for precision-molded components and industrial applications.

    PVC

    Type: PVC

    Economical, Weather Resistance, Flame Retardancy

    Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is a widely used thermoplastic polymer material characterized by excellent mechanical properties, outstanding corrosion resistance, and superior electrical insulation performance. By incorporating various additives, it can be tailored to meet customized requirements. Owing to its unique combination of properties, PVC finds extensive applications in fields such as construction, industry, packaging, and healthcare.

  • Clear PMMA acrylic sheet for optical applications

    PMMA (Acrylic)

    Type: PMMA (Acrylic)

    Impact Resistance, High Transparency, Weather Resistance

    Acrylic (also known as polymethyl methacrylate, PMMA) boasts not only excellent optical performance but also outstanding UV resistance. With a light transmittance of up to 92%—comparable to glass—it has become a popular material in scenarios ranging from neon signs in shopping malls and display case panels in museums to precision optical lenses and stage light covers.
