Rubber deflashing is the process of removing excess rubber known as flash from the surfaces and edges of molded parts. During rubber injection molding, flash is caused by parting line mismatches, improper venting, inadequate clamping pressure, excessively low viscosity, or poor sprue bushing support. Tooling and processing issues can also cause mold flash during injection […]
PET Plastic Material & Uses PET (polyethylene terephthalate) is a type of plastic that is commonly used to manufacture a wide variety of parts including bottles and containers for liquid & food products, packaging materials, and automotive components. Some specific examples include: Beverage bottles: PET is the most common material used for bottled water, soft […]
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 […]
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 […]
Injection molding flash is a part defect you can't ignore. Hand trimming is slow and expensive. Cryogenic deflashing is fast, consistent, and cost-effective.
