What is the PMMA injection molding process?

1. What does PMMA mean

polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), referred to as PMMA, is a kind of polymer, also known as acrylic or plexiglass, with high transparency, low price, easy machining and other advantages, is often used as a glass substitute material.

2. What does PMMA injection molding process mean

PMMA injection molding process is relatively high compared to other plastic materials, need to pay attention to the following 4 aspects:

(1) Design and selection of injection molds: PMMA injection molding requires precision injection molds, so special attention needs to be paid to the design and selection of molds during the manufacturing process.

(2), maintain the appropriate temperature and pressure: PMMA injection molding, need to heat the material, and control the appropriate temperature and pressure to ensure its normal flow. At the same time, the injection molding machine also needs to be adjusted according to different products.

(3) Quality control: Because PMMA material is more fragile, it is necessary to pay attention to strengthen quality management and control during injection molding, such as avoiding bubbles and preventing shrinkage holes. In addition, it is necessary to use PMMA-specific shock absorbers to help reduce the effects of vibration and shock.

(4) Post-treatment: After PMMA injection molding, post-treatment is required, including steps such as deburring, cutting, grinding and polishing, to achieve the final product effect.

In short, the PMMA injection molding process requires high-precision injection molds, fine heating temperature and pressure control, as well as quality control and post-processing steps. Therefore, in the PMMA injection molding process, it is necessary to strictly follow the standard operation and ensure that the production environment is clean and dust-free in order to produce high-quality PMMA products.

3, acrylic injection molding process temperature and what are the characteristics

Acrylic injection molding process is a commonly used method in the manufacture of acrylic products, with a wide range of application prospects, suitable for the production of transparent or translucent products, such as display covers, lampshades, cosmetic bottles and so on. In the process of acrylic injection molding, the control of temperature is very important, below we will learn more about its temperature and characteristics.

1, acrylic injection molding process temperature requirements

In the process of acrylic injection molding, it is necessary to heat the acrylic raw material in the range of 220 ~ 260 ° C according to the type, thickness, color and deformation temperature of the acrylic used. The specific heating temperature depends on the type of acrylic material selected and its performance parameters, but also affected by other factors such as mold design. In actual operation, it is necessary to achieve the required heating effect by adjusting the temperature of the heater to ensure that the material has appropriate fluidity and solidification when it is injected.

2. What are the characteristics of acrylic injection molding process

(1) Viscosity control:

Acrylic material has a large coefficient of thermal expansion and high viscosity, so it is necessary to control the pressure during the injection molding process to prevent product deformation or other quality problems. At the same time, it is also necessary to adjust the heating temperature to master the viscosity of parts such as pipes and molds, and ensure that the material can achieve the expected flow and cure when injection molding.

(2) Mold accuracy:

Acrylic materials have high precision requirements for injection molds, and advanced equipment and processes should be selected to maintain a certain accuracy and precision in the design and manufacturing process. The surface of the injection mold must be flat, without obvious defects, and the distance and shape between the mold cavities should correspond to the molded product.

(3) Post-processing:

Acrylic molding also needs to carry out post-processing, including cutting, grinding, polishing and other steps to improve the beauty of the product. These operations require the use of professional automation equipment to perform, improve production efficiency and product accuracy.

In summary, the temperature of the acrylic injection molding process depends on the type and performance parameters of the selected acrylic raw materials, and it is also necessary to pay attention to many factors such as viscosity control, injection mold accuracy and post-processing. Only within a reasonable temperature range, and according to the specific theoretical and technological requirements of the operation can obtain high-quality acrylic products.
