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.
PC+ABS
Type: PC+ABS
Impact Resistance, Strength
PC+ABS is a blend-modified material that combines the advantages of both materials. It not only inherits the high impact resistance of PC but also the material strength of ABS, while improving its heat resistance. It is often used in electronic product casings, automotive interiors, consumer products, and more.
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.
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.
