Plastic Injection Moulding in the Automotive Industry

PLASTIC INJECTION MOULDING IN AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY

The automotive industry is going through radical changes when it comes to designing and manufacturing techniques. Various assembled parts and other components are being made from injection moulded plastics for better performance and enhanced durability.

Automobile engines and interior parts assembly require thermoplastic components and resins for better performance. The flexible and adaptable nature of injection molded parts makes them ideal for manufacturing parts or even complete devices for the automotive industry.

Be it insert molding, micro moulding or over molding; the parts derived from these techniques are vibrant and versatile in nature. Thus they can be efficiently used for making components as per the dimensional specifications of the particular automobile device.

PLASTIC AUTOMOTIVE PARTS

Injection molding is an established production process in which automotive mold manufacturers inject molten plastic materials into a mold cavity. The melted plastic then cools and hardens, and the manufacturers extract the finished part. Though the mold design process is critical and challenging (a poorly designed mold can result in defects), injection molding itself is a reliable method for producing solid plastic parts with a high-quality finish.

MATERIAL SELECTION

POLYCARBONATE

Like polypropylene, polycarbonate is so resistant to impact that it is often used for car bumpers and headlight lenses. This kind of car plastic is highly resistant to weathering, able to handle conditions from rain and snow to heat and cold. Polycarbonate is also lightweight, so it reduces a car's overall weight, which in turn improves vehicle and fuel efficiency.

Polyvinyl Chloride

Polyvinyl Chloride, more commonly known as PVC, is a flame retardant plastic that can be formed into either flexible or rigid components. PVC is another common plastic used in cars thanks to its formability and sleek finish: you'll often see PVC used for dashboards and automotive body parts.

POLYPROPYLENE

Polypropylene is used the most frequently of any plastic in automotive manufacturing. Being a thermoplastic polymer, it can easily be formed into almost any shape. It has excellent chemical and heat resistance and is generally resistant to impact. Given this plastic's resume, you will frequently find it in car bumpers, gas cans and even the carpet fibers of your car's interior flooring. It's also a more economical alternative to expensive plastics of similar strength and durability, which helps drive down the cost of manufacturing.

ABS

ABS sheet is similar to PVC in that the final product offers a sleek finish. Steering wheel covers and dashboards are often made of ABS plastic. It's also well-suited to heavy-duty applications, so it can be used for automotive body parts, too. Plastic used in cars, like ABS, helps the body absorb and redistribute energy during an impact, keeping passengers safe.
