Known for producing hollow parts, gas-assist techniques can overcome many of the limitations of conventional injection molding. The first patents for gasassist injection molding came in the early ...

Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) resin is being employed in a gas-assisted injection molding process to reduce weight and costs of tubular cooling system parts for automotive engines. The Fortron material ...

For at least a decade, gas-assisted injection molding (GAIM) processes have been used successfully to form hollow, tubular products, such as appliance handles, using fiber-reinforced thermoplastics.

Universal Plastics Corp., a Massachusetts-based heavy-gauge thermoformer, is expanding its processing capabilities through the purchase of Sajar Plastics LLC. Sajar, based in Middlefield, specializes ...

Robert Joyce says gas-assisted molding is the best way to solve tough challenges of injection molding wood-plastic composite balluster spindles - the long pieces that run down vertically to support a ...

In an attempt to bring a new level of consistency to gas-assist molding, Ferromatik Milacron has developed Airpress III, a patented system that modifies resin injection and delays the timing for the ...
