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.
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.
POM (Delrin)
Type: POM (Delrin)
Impact Resistance, Chemical Resistant
Polyoxymethylene (POM) is a premium high-performance engineering plastic. Known for its metal-like mechanical strength, it offers exceptional hardness, rigidity, impact and fatigue resistance, as well as outstanding wear resistance and self-lubrication. POM also provides excellent dimensional stability, strong chemical resistance, and ease of processing. With this unique combination of properties, it has become a preferred material across industries such as machinery, automotive, electronics, and medical devices—making it an ideal replacement for metal in manufacturing high-precision, wear-resistant components.
