ABS consists of Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene; it can easily be processed in our injection moulding machines. ABS is suited to many different applications, making it a widely used plastic in various end products. ABS is popular because this polymer is light, hard, and impact-resistant. It has high stiffness and can easily be finished with a very high boundary surface. A disadvantage of ABS is that it is sensitive to weather conditions and UV light.<\/p>\n\r\n                    <\/div>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n                <\/div>\r\n\r\n            <\/div>\r\n\r\n            <div class=\"col-md-6\">\r\n\r\n                <div class=\"theme-content-wrapper__image-col\">\r\n\r\n                    <div class=\"theme-content-wrapper__image-wrapper is_mirrored\">\r\n\r\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wicro.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Wicro-spuitgieten-productontwikkeling-Engineering-3.jpg\" alt=\"\">\r\n\r\n                    <\/div>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n                <\/div>\r\n\r\n                <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"blob-dots\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wicro.nl\/en\/wp-content\/themes\/theme\/assets\/img\/blob-blue-dots.svg\" alt=\"Blue Dots\">\r\n\r\n            <\/div>\r\n\r\n        <\/div>\r\n\r\n    <\/div>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"theme-wrapper theme-content bg-no-bg\">\r\n\r\n    <div class=\"container\">\r\n\r\n        <div class=\"row justify-content-between align-items-center\">\r\n\r\n            <div class=\"col-md-5\">\r\n\r\n                <div class=\"theme-content-wrapper\">\r\n\r\n                    <h2>Polyamide (PA\/Nylon) injection moulding<\/h2>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n                    <div class=\"theme-content-wrapper__content\">\r\n\r\n                        <p>Polyamide, also known as PA or Nylon, is perfect for injection moulding a variety of products.

Polyamide has excellent impact resistance and is highly scratch-resistant. In contrast to ABS, polyamide is less sensitive to weather exposure.

This is because this type of plastic is very hard, but with good elastic properties too. Because POM is resistant to chemicals and moisture, it is often used in combination with fuels. A disadvantage of POM is that the material\u2019s low friction coefficient (the degree of friction between two surfaces) makes it difficult to paint or coat.<\/p>\n\r\n                    <\/div>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n                <\/div>\r\n\r\n            <\/div>\r\n\r\n            <div class=\"col-md-6\">\r\n\r\n                <div class=\"theme-content-wrapper__image-col\">\r\n\r\n                    <div class=\"theme-content-wrapper__image-wrapper is_mirrored\">\r\n\r\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wicro.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Wicro-spuitgieten-productontwikkeling-Productie.jpg\" alt=\"\">\r\n\r\n                    <\/div>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n                <\/div>\r\n\r\n                <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"blob-dots\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wicro.nl\/en\/wp-content\/themes\/theme\/assets\/img\/blob-blue-dots.svg\" alt=\"Blue Dots\">\r\n\r\n            <\/div>\r\n\r\n        <\/div>\r\n\r\n    <\/div>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"theme-wrapper theme-content bg-no-bg\">\r\n\r\n    <div class=\"container\">\r\n\r\n        <div class=\"row justify-content-between align-items-center\">\r\n\r\n            <div class=\"col-md-5\">\r\n\r\n                <div class=\"theme-content-wrapper\">\r\n\r\n                    <h2>Polypropylene injection moulding<\/h2>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n                    <div class=\"theme-content-wrapper__content\">\r\n\r\n                        <p>Polypropylene, also known as PP or polypropylene, can be divided into three different types: PP-homopolymer, PP-copolymer and PP-random. Polypropylene is known for the endless possibilities it presents. Perhaps its biggest advantage is that PP is resistant to chemical solvents, bases and acids. It is also highly resistant to bacterial growth, making it suited to medical equipment and products that come into contact with food. For this reason it is often used for lunchboxes, dental instruments and flowerpots, among other things. Polypropylene is very suited to injection moulding, is relatively stiff and has good water resistance.<\/p>\n\r\n                    <\/div>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n                <\/div>\r\n\r\n            <\/div>\r\n\r\n            <div class=\"col-md-6\">\r\n\r\n                <div class=\"theme-content-wrapper__image-col\">\r\n\r\n                    <div class=\"theme-content-wrapper__image-wrapper\">\r\n\r\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wicro.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Wicro-spuitgieten-productontwikkeling-Spuitgietmatrijs.jpg\" alt=\"\">\r\n\r\n                    <\/div>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n                <\/div>\r\n\r\n                <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"blob-dots\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wicro.nl\/en\/wp-content\/themes\/theme\/assets\/img\/blob-blue-dots.svg\" alt=\"Blue Dots\">\r\n\r\n            <\/div>\r\n\r\n        <\/div>\r\n\r\n    <\/div>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"theme-wrapper theme-content bg-no-bg\">\r\n\r\n    <div class=\"container\">\r\n\r\n        <div class=\"row justify-content-between align-items-center flex-row-reverse\">\r\n\r\n            <div class=\"col-md-5\">\r\n\r\n                <div class=\"theme-content-wrapper\">\r\n\r\n                    <h2>HDPE injection moulding<\/h2>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n                    <div class=\"theme-content-wrapper__content\">\r\n\r\n                        <p>HPDE stands for High Density Polyethylene; it is also known simply as polyethylene.
