Injection Molded Plastics

Plastic Injection Molding Process

Plastic injection molding produces complex and intricate 3D parts at low cost. Britech Industries specialists can take any design, regardless of how complicated, and create a mold that will produce any number of perfect parts. Using a reaction injection molding process (RIM), a mixture of thermoset polymers is injected into a mold under high pressure. As the mixture sets in the mold, it expands and cures. In cases where a very rigid and strong finish is required, a reinforcing agent is added that increases the strength and endurance of the final injection molded plastic product.

Reaction injection molding produces parts that are lightweight, strong, and flexible which can be painted or finished to meet any type of requirements. Unlike other types of molding, RIM has a very quick cycle time that allows us to produce large quantities in less time. Parts produced in this way can have thin or thick walls, with both types having similar durability. An attractive feature of RIM is that parts can be of any size. The only controlling factor is the size of the equipment.

Reaction injection molding uses a mixture of a thermoset polymer, which is usually a polyurethane, and liquid polyisocyanate. The mixture expands in the mold to form bubbles, which can produce either open or closed-cell foam. Though Britech Industries produces parts using RIM, we also specialize in traditional injection molding. We adapt our processes to fit the needs of our customers. Injection plastic molding is the injection of molten plastic into the mold cavity that is in the shape of the final part. The heated mixture is forced against the sides of the mold. As the mold is allowed to cool, the molten plastic cures and solidifies.

Injection molding is one of the oldest forms of manufacturing processes that was first patented in the middle of the first industrial revolution in 1872. The design of the original device was rather simple compared to the complex machines we use today to produce intricate and precise parts. Britech Industries uses the finest quality polymer resin to produce our high-quality parts. Resin is in the form of beads that are melted at the beginning of the process. We use thermoplastics that are an excellent material for the manufacturing of plastic parts and have many features that make them ideal.
