There is a wide variety of material options out there for plastic injection molding. LXL provides free material consultations and helps you find the most suitable material for your products !
There are hundreds of plastic options for injection molding. Each material performs differently. Using the right one is the key to your product’s performance and cost-efficiency.
4 Major Factors to Consider:
Hardness: Depends on the application environment (temperature, humidity, UV exposure).
Weight/Density: Raw materials are sold by weight. Choosing the right density directly impacts your unit cost.
Flexibility: How well the part resists stress. (e.g., a plastic plug needs high flexibility to avoid cracking).
Cost: The most expensive material isn’t always the best. It’s about matching the resin to the specific use case.
Common Materials We Mold:
ABS, PC, PC/ABS, PA (Nylon), POM (Acetal), PP, PE, PMMA (Acrylic), TPE, TPU.
