Abstract: | Injection molding rigid PVC is no longer the chore it once was. Advances in resin properties, additive systems, and molding equipment have allowed injection molders to take advantage of PVC's favorable economic, weatherability, flame retardant, and chemical resistant properties. As a result, injection molding of PVC is entering a new era. With the proper equipment and formulations, today's PVC molder is graduating from pipe fittings to ever more profitable, yet demanding, parts and applications. |
