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.
PEI
Type: PEI
Temperature Resistance, Strength, CorrosionResistant, Flame Retardancy, Electrical Insulation, Aging Resistance
PEI (polyetherimide) is a high-performance thermoplastic engineering plastic that combines excellent heat resistance, mechanical properties, and chemical stability, enabling it to be widely used in high-end industrial fields such as aerospace, electronics and electrical engineering, and medical equipment.
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.
PP
Type: PP
Corrosion Resistant, Strength
Polypropylene (PP) is a well-balanced thermoplastic characterized by lightweight material, excellent chemical resistance, and good flexibility. Owing to these properties, it finds wide application in fields such as packaging, household appliances, automotive, daily necessities, and medical devices.
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.
