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.
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.
PEEK
Type: PEEK
Impact Resistance, Chemical Resistant, Food Grade, High Temp, Sterilizable
PEEK (Polyetheretherketone) is a top-performing thermoplastic engineering plastic, featuring excellent high-temperature resistance, robust mechanical properties, versatile corrosion resistance, top-tier biocompatibility, exceptional dimensional stability, and outstanding electrical insulation and radiation resistance. It is widely used in high-end fields such as aerospace, high-end medical care, and electronic semiconductors.
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.
