Plastic injection molding is a manufacturing process where molten plastic is forced under pressure into a mold, cools and solidifies into a specific shape, and is then ejected as a finished part, ideal for creating precise, complex plastic components for industries like automotive medical, electronics, house ware, etc.
BioGENIE® for Plastic Injection grades
|
Property |
Typical Specification Range |
Importance for injection |
|
Carrier Resin |
Matched to base polymer (e.g., PE carrier for PE injection , PP carrier for PP injection) |
Ensures complete compatibility and dispersion in the final product. |
|
Dosage (Let-down Ratio) |
Typically 1%, depending on required biodegradable rate |
Dictates cost-effectiveness and processing parameters. |
|
Physical Form |
Free-flowing pellets, dust-free processing |
Ensures ease of handling, clean processing, and consistent automated dosing. |
|
Melt Flow Index (MFI) |
Compatible with the base resin MFI |
Guarantees proper dispersion within the extruder without causing processing issues. |
|
Dispersion |
The additive must disperse uniformly throughout the melt |
to ensure consistent performance and appearance in the final product. |
|
Particle Size Distribution |
Typically 50 – 60 microns |
Critical for avoiding surface defects. |
|
Thermal stability |
Must withstand the high processing temperatures of injection without degrading or burning |
Avoiding decompose additive during extrusion. |
