Understanding Injection Moulding From A PVC Compound Manufacturer’s Point Of View

As a manufacturer who needs to create products, parts or components, you’ll know that you’ll need quality PVC compounds from a PVC compound manufacturer. These components are used in flooring, piping, irrigating and electrical housing applications. It’s essential to work alongside your supplier to make sure you pick the correct compound. So they can customise it to meet your compliance and regulation requirements.

While many clients understand what the result of injection moulding is, few understand what the process involves. Improving your understanding of the process from a PVC compound manufacturer’s point of view will ensure you’re better satisfied with the result.

Understanding The Injection Moulding Process

Injection moulding is a popular way to transform PVC compounds. The process starts with designing the item’s size, shape, colour, durability and so on. It uses specialised CAD software to create a prototype. You’ll then create a prototype mould to make sure the part ends up as required.

Once the mould is ready for use, the compounds are fed into the machine’s heating barrel and heated to a specific temperature. The mould is then filled under pressure, and once the part has set and cooled it is released.

Why Is Your Compound Choice So Important?

As you can see, it’s critical to choose the correct type of compound. As well as, consider the guidelines provided by your PVC compound manufacturer at every point. A failure to do so can result in a product that doesn’t set, burns and fails to melt at the required temperature. It can also lose its shape or break during the process. This is expensive and time-consuming to fix. Qualities that are affected by your choice of compound are uniformity, thickness and stress resilience.
