Plastic Injection Moulding
Plastic injection moulding is the process of melting plastic pellets (thermosetting/thermoplastic polymers) that once malleable enough, are injected at pressure into a mould cavity, which fills and solidifies to produce the final product.
Chinatech Sourcing Ltd are specialists in the plastic injection moulding process and work with a number of world class partner organizations in the far east to supply small and large plastic moldings. Some of the benefits of dealing with Chinatech Sourcing Ltd are:
- We can often provide tooling at a fraction of the cost of European sourced parts. (Typically 50%)
- We can often support lower volumes and batch quantities compared to our competitors
- Sometimes plastic moldings can require further post processing including metalising (reflective finish) or assembling and packing into presentation packing. These additional processes can be expensive, but we can often help you benefit from the lower costs associated with China manufacturing.
- With technical specialists based in the UK and China, we can provide fast and expert feedback on design feasibility and DFM for your components
We provide quality mouldings with customer specified surface finishes from polished to
spark finishes (VDI 3400) and over moulding options for “soft touch” feel parts.
See our Case Studies page for examples of some of our work.
