Nitrofreeze® Cryogenic Deflashing for PPS Parts
Nitrofreeze® cryogenic deflashing removes flash from injection-molded PPS parts without affecting critical dimensions or surface finish. This proven process removes gate vestiges, flash that extends from the surface of an injection-molded part after gate runners are removed. Cryogenic deflashing also removes flash from hard-to-reach areas such as cross-holes, blind holes, and other challenging part geometries. […]
Nitrofreeze® Cryogenic Deflashing for Silicone Overmolding
Nitrofreeze® cryogenic deflashing removes mold flash from parts produced using silicone rubber overmolding, a multi-step process that molds silicone rubber over parts made from another material. Examples include medical devices where silicone is molded over metal to provide protection against water, heat, impact, and electrical shock. Silicone can also be molded over plastic during two-shot […]
Nitrofreeze® Cryogenic Deflashing for Insert Molding
Nitrofreeze® cryogenic deflashing for plastic 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 […]
Cryogenic Deflashing Glass-Filled Nylon Parts
Glass-Filled Nylon Deflashing Introduction Glass-filled nylon, also known as glass-reinforced nylon or nylon composite, is a type of engineering thermoplastic that is reinforced with glass fibers. It is created by incorporating short or long glass fibers into a nylon polymer matrix during the manufacturing process. The addition of glass fibers enhances the mechanical properties of […]
