Nitrofreeze® cryogenic deflashing for insert molding gently removes flash from parts and products like electrical connectors and surgical tools. During insert molding, a plastic or rubber material is molded over a substrate that has been inserted into the mold. In the case of an electrical connector, this substrate is an electrically conductive metal. The plastic […]
How much are you paying to deburr plastic or metal parts by hand? Could you save money with Nitrofreeze® cryogenic deburring, a computer-controlled, automated batch process that’s clean, consistent, and cost-effective? Before you break out your calculator, consider the true costs of manual deburring. There’s a basic formula for manual and cryogenic deburring costs, but […]
Molded plastic medical parts have tight tolerances, require a high degree of cleanliness, and are made from a range of materials, including specialty polymers and elastomers that cost more than commodity rubber and plastic. Whether parts manufacturing involves injection, compression, or transfer molding, designers need to know that the components they receive are free from […]
Introduction HDPE stands for High-Density Polyethylene. It is a type of thermoplastic polymer that is widely used in various applications due to its excellent properties and versatility. HDPE is made from petroleum through a polymerization process and is classified as a polyethylene material. Key characteristics and features of HDPE include: High Density: HDPE has a […]
Nitrofreeze® cryogenic deburring is a fast, safe, and consistent way to remove burrs from batches of machined parts. During cryogenic deburring, parts are cooled below the material’s glass transition temperature (Tg) so that burrs become brittle and easy to remove. Parts are then blasted with a specified cryogenic-grade polycarbonate media that comes in different diameters […]
