HIGH TEMPERATURE MOLDING WITH HIGH GRADE RESINS

What is High Temperature plastic injection molding?

High-temperature plastic injection molding is a specialized process used to shape heat-resistant polymers into precise parts. These polymers are ideal for extreme environments, where standard plastics would fail. The materials molded using this process offer enhanced thermal, chemical, and mechanical properties that ensure durability and performance.

Advanced Equipment for High-Temperature Plastic Injection Molding

Molding high-temperature resins requires specialized equipment designed for processing temperatures up to 850°F. At PTI, we have invested in state-of-the-art systems that maintain precise control over temperature and pressure.

Our equipment features:

  • Ceramic heater bands for high-temperature applications
  • Thermolators for maintaining consistent mold temperatures
  • Unique mold base systems for optimal resin flow and cooling
  • Clamping forces ranging from 35 to 150 tons for precision molding

This advanced technology allows us to mold high-temperature plastics while managing thermal expansion and ensuring proper mold cooling to prevent defects like warping or incomplete filling.

The success of high-temperature injection molding depends on precise process control. The equipment must handle the extreme temperatures without affecting the quality of the resin or final product. At PTI, our processes ensure:

  • Exact temperature management
  • Precise pressure control
  • Careful mold cooling to avoid defects

Our dedicated high-heat molding cell operates under the strictest safety standards, ensuring that each product meets your high performance and safety requirements.

Designing for high-temperature plastic injection molding is critical for success. Factors such as draft angles, surface finishes, undercuts, and the type of steel used in molds must be considered from the beginning of the project. At PTI, we work closely with engineers to optimize designs for high-heat plastic injection molding to ensure perfect results.

  • PEEK (Victrex)
  • PPA (Amodel)
  • PAI (Torlon)
  • PPS (Ryton, Fortron)
  • PEI (Ultem)

When it comes to high-temperature plastic injection molding, PTI is the trusted partner for engineers looking for precision, reliability, and expertise. Whether you’re developing engine parts, medical implants, or high-performance electrical components, we have the experience and equipment to bring your project to life.

Mold Design

Mold Design is a crucial step in the injection molding process. Once you’ve finalized your part in CAD software for fit and function, it must then be transformed into a design for molding to ensure the capture of all the specified details. In some cases, certain features of the part design may not be manufacturable via the injection molding process.

At PTI, we collaborate with you to achieve the best possible design for manufacturability. In fact, we have a FREE guide to help you with this.
