Plastic Injection Molding Materials

Surface finishes for Injection Molding

Injection molding involves the creation of parts from plastic by injecting molten material into molds. Surface finishes ensure parts meet both aesthetic and functional requirements.

Sanding
Glossy A1-A3 injection molding surface finish. Smooth, highly reflective plastic par

Sanding removes rough edges or excess material left from the molding process, ensuring a smooth and clean surface on molded plastic parts.

Polishing

Polishing improves the visual appeal of injection molded parts by providing a glossy finish, often used for high-visibility components that require a polished look.

Texturing
Matte C1-C3 injection molding surface. Non-reflective, dull finish on a plastic component

Texturing is used to add patterns or textures to the surface of molded parts, providing a functional non-slip surface and enhancing the aesthetic of the part.

Electropolishing

Electropolishing enhances the smoothness of metal components used in injection molds, improving their appearance and resistance to corrosion for longer tooling life.

 Anodizing

 Anodizing is used on aluminum molds to create a corrosion-resistant, durable surface that extends the mold’s lifespan and ensures consistent part quality over time.

Vibratory finishing
