Rex Plastics has been a trusted name in the American injection molding industry since 1971. Our commitment to quality, innovation, and customer satisfaction sets us apart from offshore suppliers. By choosing Rex Plastics, you benefit from: Cause: In plastic injection molding, jetting is most commonly caused because the melt temperature is too low & the viscosity of the molten plastic resin becomes too high. This leads to an increased resistance in flow through the mold. When the plastic resin is injected into the mold and makes contact with the mold walls, it’s rapidly cooled & viscosity increases. The resin that flows through behind the viscous resin pushes that viscous resin further, which leads to scrape marks on the finished product’s surface. Cooling time accounts for a significant portion of the total cycle in injection molding, and minimizing this time through efficient mold design, including strategically placed cooling channels, can significantly improve production rates and reduce costs. Injection molding is widely used in mass production because it allows for low per-unit costs after the initial mold investment is made.

Contact Us Runner systems in injection molds channel molten plastic from the injection unit to the cavities. Cold runners solidify along with the part and require trimming, while hot runner systems keep the material molten, eliminating the need for post-molding trimming. When it comes to warpage in plastic injection molding, There are three primary causes of plastic injection molding warpage: Cooling Rate, Cavity Pressure & Fill Rate. However, there are multiple contributing factors that can cause such warpage problems. We make device components that help our military defend themselves, and make it possible to return home to their families safely.
Today, there are only a few companies around the world who specialize in Engineering-Grade molding projects. Between the rarity of this specialty and the global freight distance, it can be a real challenge to find a capable domestic company to handle these projects. Controlling cooling rates is vital to preventing warping or shrinkage in molded parts, as uneven cooling can result in internal stresses or dimensional inaccuracies, especially in thick sections where heat dissipation is slower. We make hundreds of different types of filters, some that are used in jet aircraft fuel systems, hydraulic powered systems, water systems and many other filter applications. The injection molding industry is heavily influenced by global trends. Economic fluctuations, material costs, and technological advancements shape manufacturing strategies. Staying updated with industry developments is crucial for maintaining competitive advantage. Injection molding can be perceived as expensive due to the initial costs associated with creating molds and setting up the production process. These upfront expenses include the design and fabrication of custom molds, which can be significant depending on the complexity and precision required
