What’s the difference between dry ice deflashing vs. cryogenic deflashing? Both are used to remove mold flash from plastic or rubber parts. Dry ice deflashing uses compressed air to propel a stream of solid carbon dioxide (dry ice) particles that blast away surface defects. Cryogenic deflashing uses gaseous nitrogen to freeze parts so that mold […]

Injection Molding Flash and Cryogenic Flash Removal
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.
Cryogenic Deflashing for PEEK Plastic
Cryogenic deflashing for PEEK plastic removes mold flash from parts made of polyetheretherketone (PEEK), an engineering thermoplastic that provides chemical resistance, mechanical strength, and dimensional stability.
What’s the Best Cryogenic Deflashing Media for Molded Parts?
Cryogenic deflashing media is used to remove mold flash from plastic and rubber parts. Depending on the cryogenic deflashing process, cryogenic-grade polycarbonate media or dry ice particles are used.
Case Study: Cryogenic Deflashing for Rubber Grommets
Nitrofreeze® Cryogenic Deflashing provides part molders and OEMs with a fast, consistent way to remove flash from rubber components including natural rubber, silicones, EPDM, Polyurethane, Neoprene, Viton, Vamac,butylrubber, and more . Cryogenic deflashing uses gaseous nitrogen to freeze the parts, and plastic media to break-off the surface imperfections and excess material. This safe, clean process […]
