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 […]
Introduction to Ertalyte Ertalyte is a trademarked name for a type of thermoplastic known as polyethylene terephthalate or PET. This engineering plastic is well known for its high mechanical strength, stiffness, and dimensional stability. This makes Ertalyte material a popular choice for applications in the automotive, electrical, and electronics industries. Ertalyte is also resistant to […]
Cryogenic Deflashing for Lexan Molded Parts Introduction to Lexan Lexan is a trademarked form of polycarbonate plastic that is transparent and has both high impact resistance and heat resistance. It is used in various applications including housings, bullet-proof glazing and other parts that require optical grade quality and a high level of durability. Molding Lexan […]
The Cryogenic Deflashing Process Cryogenic Deflashing is a process designed to remove molding flash created during the molding process. Molding flash can be found on molded parts along the parting lines, gate vestiges, and where pins and slides are located. In order for molded parts to complete their desired function, the residual molding flash needs […]
Batch Deflashing to Remove Mold Flashing We often hear from molders and OEMs that they have mold flashing after their injection molded plastic and rubber parts are manufactured. There are many ways for mold flashing to form on your parts during the injection molding process. Surfaces where sliding and moving parts meet will wear with […]
