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 Cryogenic Deflashing Cryogenic deflashing is a process used to remove excess material or flash from molded components. Flash refers to thin protrusions or excess material that are often formed during the manufacturing process due to mold imperfections or parting lines. Cryogenic deflashing is particularly useful for removing flash from plastic and rubber components. […]
Introduction Buna-N, also known as Nitrile rubber) is a synthetic rubber polymer made from the copolymerization of acrylonitrile and butadiene. It is one of the most commonly used elastomers due to its excellent resistance to oils, fuels, and chemicals. Buna-N rubber has a high resistance to abrasion and is also highly durable, making it an […]
Fluorosilicone Introduction Fluorosilicone rubber, FVMQ, is a synthetic elastomer that combines the chemical resistance of fluorocarbons with the high-temperature stability and low compression set of silicone rubber. It is a specialty elastomer used primarily in applications that require resistance to fuels, oils, solvents, and other aggressive fluids, as well as high temperatures. Fluorosilicone rubber is […]
Deflashing Pressed Metal Parts Pressed Metal Introduction Pressed metal refers to a metalworking process where a flat sheet of metal, typically steel or aluminum, is stamped or pressed into a three-dimensional shape using a die or mold. The process involves applying force to the metal sheet using a press or stamping machine, which can […]
