PEEK Material PEEK is a type of polymer, which is a material made of long chains of molecules. It is known for its high strength, stiffness, and resistance to high temperatures and chemicals. Peek is commonly used in applications where high performance is required, such as in the aerospace, automotive, and medical industries. It […]
Polyethylene Deflashing and Deburring
Polyethylene (PE) is the world’s most commonly used plastic with applications ranging from consumer packaging to wire jacketing and medical products. There’s more than one type of polyethylene, however, and this polymer is divided into different types of materials based on the density of the plastic and the branching of the molecular structure. Each type […]
Polypropylene Deflashing and Deburring
Polypropylene is a hard, heat-resistant plastic that supports molding and machining. With its relatively low cost and light weight, this thermoplastic material is injection molded to create products ranging from caps, closures, and cups to dishwasher components and automotive dashboards. In addition, polypropylene is molded and machined into medical products such as orthotics and surgical […]
Cryogenic Deflashing for Overmolded Electrical Connectors
Deflashing for Overmolded Connectors Nitrofreeze provides deflashing services and equipment for overmolded electrical connectors. Overmolded electrical connectors protect wires, cables, sockets and other electrically conductive components against environmental conditions such as dust, moisture, weather, and heat. Overmolding, an injection molding process, molds a polymer such as Bakelite over these electrical components. Bakelite combines high electrical […]
Dry Ice Cleaning for Mold Tooling
Dry ice cryogenic cleaning is helping rubber and plastic molders to improve part quality and reduce operational costs. Dry ice cleaning, or dry ice blasting as it’s also known, removes fouling and residues from injection molds and other types of metal tooling. This safe, clean process won’t harm mold surfaces or their finishes and eliminates […]
