1. Why Europe and America outsourcing Plastic
injection molding to China
Plastic have great impact on our daily lives. In many ways plastic made it more
convenient. Items made of plastic are cheaper than other materials and metals.
These days, every little thing we use has plastic in it. Plastic has become one of
the most sought after materials to use because of its easy availability & it can be
formed in any shape or size by injection molding. By the Plastic injection molding
technique, plastic can be molded into any shape or size with great precession
and finish. Depending upon what type of product and what amount of finishing is
needed, Plastic molds are created. Once molds are checked for quality, it’s
decided what type of plastic is needed to give the product its required rigidity,
color or flexibility. Thermosetting Plastic, Elastomers and Thermoplastic
Polymers are most used materials for plastic molding. These materials are used
because they offer greater viscosity. With new technique few more materials are
being used for injection molding but plastic is hot favorite.
With the use of latest plastic injection china moldings technique, plastic
products are produced rapidly with great precession. Plastic in powder or liquid
form is injected through the hopper into the barrel, which is heated up to certain
required temperature. Melted material is forced into a mold or dies. The
material takes the physical properties of the mold's cavity or hollow, after
cooling down. Every plastic product you see today experiences this process. For
example, car dashboards, soft drinks caps etc. all experience injection molding
process. The materials can differ such as plastic to metal; anything that is
malleable.
Material hopper, heating unit, plunger are the basic part of plastic molding
machines. The purpose of Presses (a machine part) is to pressurize the molten
material into the hollows or mold's cavity to give the material desired shape.
That’s how final product is prepared.
Europe and America are outsourcing its injection plastic moldings work to China
in great quantity. The main reason to do so it cheap labor and work quality is as
per European standards. China is world’s biggest exporter of plastic raw material
2. and finished plastic products. Not only Europe and America but also other
emerging economies have outsourced its injection molding work to china.
Chinese are also equipped with latest injection molding techniques and
machinery to fulfill any order, regardless of its size and shape. Injection molding
china revolutionized product design and mass production because of the
flexibility it offers.
