What is Thermoplastic Molding?
Thermoplastic molding is almost the opposite of Thermoset Molding. Thermoplastic molding typically requires a “hot” material and a “cold” mold.
Material for the part is fed into a heated barrel, plasticized using a helical screw, and injected under pressure into a mold cavity via gate and runner system. There it then “cures” to the shape of the mold detail.
Thermoplastic molding material is similar to water and an ice cube. It can be typically reground and reused or recycled, just like an ice cube can be melted and refrozen.
