How important are the raw materials for injection molding?

First, the influence of raw materials on product quality

Physical properties: The physical properties of raw materials, such as strength, hardness, toughness, etc., directly determine the service life and reliability of injection molded products. Choosing the right raw materials can ensure that the product has sufficient strength and stability during use, and reduce failures and damage caused by material problems.

Chemical properties: The chemical stability of raw materials has a decisive impact on the corrosion resistance, heat resistance, weather resistance and other properties of the product. Especially in some special environments, such as high temperature, high humidity, strong acid and alkali, etc., the chemical properties of raw materials are particularly important.

Processability: The processability of the raw material determines the plasticity and fluidity in the injection molding process. High-quality raw materials can ensure that the product is evenly filled with the mold during the injection molding process, reduce defects such as bubbles and shrinkage holes, and improve the appearance quality and dimensional accuracy of the product.

Second, the impact of raw materials on production costs

Material cost: Raw materials are one of the main costs in injection molding production. Choosing raw materials with reasonable price and excellent performance can reduce production costs on the premise of ensuring product quality. At the same time, reasonable control of the purchase and inventory of raw materials can also effectively reduce capital occupation and storage costs.

Production efficiency: The processing performance of raw materials directly affects production efficiency. High-quality raw materials can reduce the failure rate and downtime in the production process, and improve production efficiency and equipment utilization. In addition, the stability and consistency of the raw material also reduces scrap and rework, further reducing production costs.

To sum up, the raw materials produced by injection molding have an important impact on product quality, production efficiency, cost control, environmental protection and sustainable development, supply chain stability and innovation ability. Therefore, when selecting and using raw materials, enterprises need to fully consider these factors to ensure that the quality and performance of raw materials meet the production requirements, and provide a strong guarantee for the sustainable development of enterprises.
