Santoprene injection molding is used to produce automotive and electrical components, parts for household appliances, and building and construction products. Medical grades of this thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) are molded into parts including medical wearables, devices and equipment. There are many different types of TPEs, but Santoprene belongs to a subcategory called thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPVs) that […]
Deflashing Polycarbonate Molded Parts Polycarbonate Material Polycarbonate is a type of plastic that is known for its strength, transparency, and resistance to impact. It is a polymer, which means that it is made up of repeating units of a small molecule called a monomer. In the case of polycarbonate, the monomer is a compound […]
Cryogenic Deflashing & Cryogenic Deburring for Molded & Machined Nylon Parts Nylon Material Nylon is a synthetic thermoplastic polymer that was first developed in the 1930s. It is known for its strength, durability, and versatility, making it a popular choice for a wide range of applications. Nylon is a polyamide, which means it is […]
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 […]
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 […]
