Plastics manufacturing | Pastic Materials and Types of Plastics Manufacturing

What is Plastic Material

Plastic is a synthetic polymer material with unique properties such as durability, flexibility and light weight, common components include polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride and so on. With the characteristics of light weight, corrosion resistance, strong plasticity, etc., it is widely used in packaging, consumer goods, transportation, construction, electronics, automotive, medical and other fields. Therefore, plastics are becoming more and more important in modern manufacturing!

Properties of Plastic

● Versatility: There is a wide variety of plastic materials, each with its own unique properties, such as flexibility, rigidity and transparency.

● Affordable: Plastic is generally cheaper than metal, making it a cost-effective material choice for many applications.

● Moldability: Plastic can easily be molded into complex shapes, making it ideal for complex components and parts.

●Chemical resistance: plastics usually have chemical resistance and can withstand contact with various substances.

Advantages of Plastic

● Versatility: Plastic can be molded into a variety of shapes and sizes, making it a highly versatile material for CNC machining.

● Affordable: Plastics are generally more cost effective than other materials, making them a popular choice for CNC machining projects.

● Chemical resistance: Plastics are highly resistant to many chemicals and are ideal for use in corrosive environments.

Disadvantages of Plastic

● Limited strength: plastics are not as strong as metals and may not be suitable for applications requiring high strength.

● Low heat resistance: plastic has low heat resistance and will melt or deform at high temperatures.

● Environmental issues: Some CNC plastics are not biodegradable and may cause environmental pollution if not handled properly.

Plastics Manufacturing Process

There are many manufacturing processes in Lori’s plastic manufacturing, each of which has its own advantages and limitations. The most common plastic manufacturing processes are as follows

Plastic CNC Machining

Plastic CNC machining is a manufacturing process that makes CNC plastic parts from ABS, POM, nylon, PEEK , PTFE , PMMA , PET, PC, polyethylene,polypropylene plastics.

Plastic 3D Printing

Plastic 3D printing is a manufacturing process make 3D plastic parts from thermoplastic PA nylon, elastomers such as TPU, ABS, polyamide (nylon), polycarbonate, polypropylene, elastomer and so on.

Plastic Injection Molding

Plastic Injection molding is a manufacturing process that makes plastic parts from thermoplastics and thermosetting plastics.

Application of Plastic

Plastic are widely used in packaging, consumer goods, automotive, transportation, construction, electronics, automotive, medical and other fields.

Automotive

Plastics are used in automotive components such as dashboards, bumpers and interiors due to their lightweight and impact-resistant properties.

Medical

Due to its biocompatibility and resistance to sterilization, plastics can be used in medical devices such as syringes, implants and pipes.

Consumer goods

Plastics are widely used in toys, electronics, household appliances and other consumer goods.
