Process: The Step-by-Step Journey of PET Injection Molding

The Polyester PET Injection Molding process is a well-orchestrated sequence that ensures consistency, quality, and efficiency. Each step is monitored closely to meet the highest standards, from resin preparation to final inspection.​

3.1 The Molding Cycle (6 Core Steps)​

1. Resin Drying: PET absorbs moisture easily, so we dry the resin at 160°C for 4–6 hours to prevent hydrolysis (which degrades material strength).​

2. Melting: Dried PET pellets are fed into a heated barrel (250–270°C) and melted into a viscous liquid.​

3. Injection: The molten PET is injected into a custom mold at high pressure (1,500–2,500 bar) to fill every cavity detail.​

4. Cooling: The mold is cooled (using water or oil) to 40–60°C, solidifying the PET part in 10–30 seconds (varies by part size).​

5. Ejection: The finished part is ejected from the mold using pins or air pressure.​

6. Post-Processing: Parts undergo trimming, surface treatment, or assembly (as needed).​

3.2 Tooling Design & Quality Control​

• Tooling Design: Our molds are made from high-grade steel (H13 or S7) for durability, with precise cavity geometry to match your design. We offer single-cavity molds (for prototypes) and multi-cavity molds (up to 32 cavities) for mass production.​

• Quality Control: We implement 100% in-line inspection using vision systems and calipers to check dimensions, surface finish, and structural integrity. Key quality metrics include:​

• Dimensional accuracy: ±0.05mm (max tolerance)​

• Defect rate: <0.1% (for mass production)​

Material consistency: ISO 9001-certified resin sourcing

Materials: Choosing the Right Polyester PET for Your Project

The success of your Polyester PET Injection Molding project starts with selecting the right Polyester PET grade and additives. PET’s versatility allows it to be modified to meet specific performance needs, from flexibility to heat resistance.​

4.1 Material Grades & Performance Characteristics​

​

​

4.2 Additives for Enhanced Performance​

We use additives to tailor PET’s properties to your needs:​

• Reinforcements: Glass fibers (10–30%) to increase strength and rigidity (ideal for automotive parts).​

• UV Stabilizers: Protect parts from sun damage (for outdoor applications like garden tools).​

• Colorants: Custom pigments for branding (e.g., matte black for electronic cases, clear for packaging).​

• Flame Retardants: For electronics and automotive parts (meets UL94 V0 standards).​

5. Surface Treatment: Elevating the Aesthetics & Functionality of PET Parts​

Surface treatment is a critical post-processing step that enhances both the look and performance of Polyester PET injection-molded parts. It addresses common PET challenges (e.g., poor adhesion, gloss inconsistency) and adds value to your products.

Key Surface Finishing Techniques

​

For example, a client in the cosmetics industry requested our Polyester PET Injection Molding services for lipstick tubes. We used polishing to create a high-gloss finish and adhesion promotion to ensure labels stayed in place—resulting in a product that outperformed their competitors in shelf appeal.

Advantages: Why Polyester PET Injection Molding Stands Out

Choosing Polyester PET Injection Molding offers a range of benefits that make it a preferred choice for manufacturers worldwide. These advantages align with key business goals: cost savings, product quality, and sustainability.​

6.1 Core Advantages at a Glance​

• Durability: PET parts have a high tensile strength (70MPa) and resistance to chemicals, moisture, and wear—making them ideal for long-lasting products (e.g., automotive components, medical devices).​

• Cost-Effectiveness: The high production speed (up to 1,000 parts per hour per machine) and low material waste (scrap is recyclable) reduce per-unit costs. For example, a 100,000-unit run of PET packaging costs 20% less than alternative materials like ABS.​

• Customization: From complex geometries (e.g., gear teeth, thin walls) to custom colors and textures, PET injection molding adapts to your design needs—no compromise on creativity.​

• Sustainability: Recycled PET (rPET) uses 70% less energy to produce than virgin PET, and all our scrap is recycled back into the production process. This helps clients meet their sustainability goals (e.g., carbon neutrality, zero-waste targets).​

High-Quality Output: Consistent part dimensions, smooth surfaces, and minimal defects (defect rate <0.1%) ensure your products meet the strictest industry standards (e.g., FDA for food packaging, ISO 13485 for medical devices).
