Rubber Injection Molding & Injection Molding

Description

Rubber Injection Molding and Injection Molding (often referred to as Plastic Injection Molding) are both manufacturing processes used to create parts and components, but they differ significantly in the materials and techniques involved.

Injection Molding
Injection molding is a widely used manufacturing process for producing plastic parts. Here’s a breakdown of how it works and its key aspects:

Materials
Thermoplastics: These can be reheated and remolded. Common examples include ABS, polycarbonate, and polypropylene.
Thermosetting Plastics: These are set into a permanent shape during the molding process and cannot be remolded. Examples include epoxy and phenolic.

Rubber injection molding is a specialized form of injection molding used specifically for rubber and elastomeric materials. The process is similar but tailored to the unique properties of rubber materials
