Injection molding is a versatile process compatible with a wide range of materials since it is ideal for merging two different components into one product exterior or top layer in insert molding. Thermoplastic and thermoset materials are primarily used in injection molding due to their strength, sturdiness, or good electricity flow.
- Thermoplastics: Polypropylene (PP), Nylons (Polyamides/PA), polycarbonate (PC), ABS, Polyethylene (PE) and Acetal;
- Thermosets: Polyester, Epoxy, melamine-formaldehyde resins, and urea-formaldehyde resins;
- Elastomers: Polyurethane, natural rubber.
