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.

  • PEI polyetherimide engineering plastic pellets

    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.

  • PC polycarbonate resin pellets

    PC

    Type: PC

    Impact Resistance, Processability

    PC (polycarbonate, commonly known as bulletproof glue) is inherently pale yellow or colorless and transparent, featuring hardness, toughness and luster. It boasts prominent advantages: with a light transmittance of 90%, it not only has good mechanical strength but also excellent impact resistance, along with outstanding heat resistance and weatherability.

  • PA (Nylon) engineering plastic part showcasing high strength, durability, and precision manufacturing

    PA (Nylon)

    Type: PA (Nylon)

    Wear Resistance, Strength, Chemical Resistant, Self-lubrication

    Nylon is a versatile and widely used material in CNC machining due to its exceptional properties. Its high tensile strength, low coefficient of friction, and resistance to wear and abrasion make it an excellent choice for applications requiring durability and reliability, such as gears, bushings, and bearings. Additionally, nylon’s low moisture absorption and good dimensional stability ensure consistent performance even in humid or varying temperature conditions.

    Its ease of machining, coupled with its chemical resistance, also makes it suitable for applications in the automotive, aerospace, and medical industries. With its remarkable combination of properties, nylon stands out as a versatile and reliable material for a diverse range of CNC machining applications.
