When injection molding with high temperature thermoplastics the equipment and tooling is similar to that used for regular engineering thermoplastics but with some key modifications.
       It has to be designed to operate at the higher temperatures, pressures and velocities demanded by the materials. Special alloy screws and barrels are customized to achieve the optimum profiles required to ensure molecular integrity is maintained for each of the selected materials. Our primary process expertise is our ability to injection mold materials together with our understanding of how the processing history affects the final properties of the polymer. Where necessary, pressure accumulators are used to achieve correct injection velocities for the material. High temperature ceramic heater bands are used on the injection barrels and molds are cooled with high temperature oil heaters.
