Marketing Strategy for Household Plastic Products: Advantages of Injection Molding Product information       25/09/2023

In an increasingly developing era, improvements in healthcare services in Vietnam and worldwide have led to a significant expansion of the medical product market. In this context, Rang Dong Healthcare Joint Stock Company has emerged with the slogan “for the community’s health as a foundation,” offering products manufactured to US standards, marking a crucial step for the healthcare industry in Vietnam.

Injection molding, a manufacturing technology involving injecting molten material into a mold, has become an indispensable part of plastic production and household plastic products. The injection process can be performed on various materials, including metal, glass, elastic materials, and especially thermoplastic and thermosetting plastics. Let’s delve into the injection molding technology and why it has become an optimal production method for household plastic products.

Injection Molding Process

The injection molding process begins by loading material into a hot barrel, which is then mixed and injected into the mold. When the material contacts the mold, it starts to cool and solidify to form the final product’s shape. Molds are usually designed and manufactured by mold makers, often using metals like steel and aluminum to ensure accuracy and durability.

Wide Applications

Injection molding technology has found diverse applications in various industries, especially in manufacturing household plastic products. This includes the production of packaging, bottle caps, automotive parts, components, spools, musical instruments, furniture, and machine parts. However, the most significant application of injection molding is in the manufacturing of medical equipment.

Processing Parameters

When performing the injection molding process, processing parameters play a crucial role in ensuring the product achieves the best quality. Below are some important processing parameters that machine operators need to master:

a. Injection Volume

Each type of plastic molding machine has a specific injection volume. Choosing the appropriate injection volume for the specific product to be manufactured is particularly important. Incorrect injection volume can lead to insufficient material in the final product.

b. Injection Speed

Injection speed directly affects the shape of the product. If the injection speed is not properly adjusted, the product may have material deficiencies, meaning the product is not filled with plastic correctly.

c. Injection Pressure

Adjusting the injection pressure of plastic molding is an important factor. This pressure depends on various factors such as mold structure, material properties, processing temperature, and injection time. If the pressure is not adjusted correctly, the product may not achieve the desired quality.

d. Molding Area

The molding area for each product is an important parameter calculated on the injection molding machine. This parameter affects mold clamping force, mold size, and production cost.

Injection molding is a crucial technology in the production of household plastic products, especially in the medical field. Understanding and adjusting basic processing parameters will help ensure product quality and optimize the production process.
