Injection Molding Guideline
1. Plastic Material
a.Assume the general purpo grade plastic materials to be ud for our molding
b.In ca of special grade materials, plea list the material grade & brand on our tool plan
c.All the plastic materials for molding must be same as the materials during development stage.
d.In ca of material shortage or cost issue, the new sourced material shall be tested and confirmed acceptable prior u.
2. Colorant
a.All the colorant must be conformed to heavy elements directives for both ASTM F963 & EN71.
b.Most of the dry pigments are hygroscopic; they must be properly aled after u.
c.For the components with high color consistence, the masterbatches or pre-color plastic materials are required.
3. Regrind Material Ratio手动挡的车
立志名言a.For plastic material on structural components, no regrind is allowed
b.For general purpo material on non structural components, 20% maximum runner regrind can be blended with virgin material.
c.For tho translucent or true white color components, no regrind is allowed.
d.For short glass filled materials, 15% maximum regrind can be blended with virgin material
拟订
e.For long glass filled materials, no regrind is allowed.
f.The maximum number of regrind pass for general purpo materials shall be 3.
g.Only 1 time of regrind pass is allowed for short glass reinforced materials
h.The regrind ratio shall be shown in our updated tool plan to follow.
i.The regrind ratio and no. of regrind pass has to be validated and confirmed during development stage. If not, no regrind will be allowed.
j. Burned or discolored sprues or parts must not be ud as regrind.
k.Hot nozzle & hot runner is our preference to eliminate runner scrap.
4. Material Drying
a.Most plastic resins require thorough drying prior injection molding to assure maximum properties in the molded parts. Below table plea find the recommended drying temperature & duration for reference:
b.For tho hygroscopic materials, the dehumidifying hopper dryer with clod-loop air circulating system is required to ensure acceptable moisture content to be achieved during molding.
c.For tho non-hygroscopic materials, the regrind have to be dried as 80ºC for 2 hours to prevent surface blemishes due to volatiles, such as PE, PP, POM, HIPS.
Material | Drying Temperature | Time required (Hour) | Dehumidifying Dryer required |
ABS / C-ABS | 80ºC | 2 | No |
Nylon 6 / PPO / PC+ABS | 100ºC | 2 | No |
Nylon 66 | 120ºC | 2 | No |
PU | 110ºC | 2 – 3 | Yes |
PC | 120ºC | 2 - 3 | No |
PET | 120ºC | 2 - 3 | Yes | 小孩早餐食谱
Regrind blench for PE / PP / HIPS / POM | 80ºC | 2 | No |

5. Screw Design
a.For most of un-filled plastic, standard screw with L / D ratio 22:1 is recommended
b.For glass reinforced plastic, screw with lower L / D ratio 20:1 is recommended
c.Bi-metallic screw and barrel are required for glass reinforced plastic to have higher wear assistance
6. Molding Machine & Accessories Selection
a.The distance between two columns (Horizontal) shall be 10mm minimum longer than the mold width
b.For non engineering or unfilled plastic resin, up to 90% rated barrel capacity shall be utilized.
c.For engineering and all glass filled plastic resin, up to 70% rated barrel capacity shall be utilized.
d.For clamping tonnage consideration, the multiple of projectile area and fill pressure should be up to 90% of rated clamping tonnage of machine. However, the actual requirement will be depended upon the wall thickness, parts geometry and gate design. Below table plea the fill pressure factor for common u plastic for reference.

PE / PP / EVA | 1.8 |
HIPS / ABS / C-ABS | 2 |
TPU / PC / PC+ABS | 4 |
Glass Filled Plastic | 5 and Up |

e.The minimum tonnage for mold size shall be put to Machine Size column on Tool Plan
f.For high precision parts & optical lens, electric molding machine is preferred.
施工技术交底模板g.Automatic parts / sprue removal system should be installed for 220 ton or above molding machines
h.Hopper loader should be installed for 220 tons or above machines
i.Proportional type hopper loader should be ud for the molding with instant runner scrap recycling.
j.Hopper magnet shall be equipped for all material hoppers.
7. Mold Clamping
a.For machine capacity up to130 tons, all molds can be clamped onto machine platens by either clamping slots or mounting holes.
b.For machine capacity more than130 tons, all molds can only be clamped onto machine platens by clamping slots.
