What are the plastics commonly used in injection molding production

Common plastics used in injection molding production include:

1. Polypropylene (PP): It has good chemical resistance, heat resistance, and is widely used in various consumer products and automotive parts.

2. Polyethylene (PE): Available in high-density (HDPE) and low-density (LDPE) forms, used in packaging, containers, and pipes.

3. Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC): Known for its durability and affordability, used in pipes, fittings, and some consumer goods.

4. Polystyrene (PS): Commonly used for packaging materials and disposable containers.

5. Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS): Has good mechanical properties and is used in electronics, automotive parts, and toys.

6. Polycarbonate (PC): Offers high impact resistance and transparency, often used in optical and electronic components.

7. Nylon (Polyamide, PA): Strong and wear-resistant, used in gears, bearings, and automotive components.

8. Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET): Popular in beverage bottles and packaging.
