Injection molding<\/h1><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Injection moulding of various plastic materials<\/h2><\/div>UW-ELAST injection moulds products that achieve outstanding properties. We are particularly skilled in injection moulding thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) and thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU). These materials are similar in properties to our cast materials. <\/p>\n
We also injection mould other types of plastics, such as PA (nylon), POM, ABS, etc. <\/p>\n
Injection moulding of TPE and TPU, as well as other thermoplastics, involves melting a solid raw material and then injecting it into a mould under high pressure in a short time.<\/p>\n
With injection moulding, we can manufacture small to medium-sized parts with high requirements for material properties, produced in very long series. We also offer solutions for metal replacement. UW-ELAST AB currently offers injection moulding at our production facility in Traryd. At present, there are four injection moulding machines with 35 to 120 tonnes of clamping force. <\/p>\n
Examples of injection-moulded products include toe caps, plastic components, etc.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/span><\/div>TPU is a urethane-based thermoplastic suitable for injection moulding, offering a range of outstanding properties thanks to the combination of high abrasion resistance (wear resistance), tear strength and elasticity. As an engineering material for, among other things, industry, TPU solves the most complex problems while also being highly cost-effective. We currently injection mould TPU grades from 40 Shore A to 75 Shore D. Injection moulding with TPU differs significantly from injection moulding with other thermoplastics. We work with both ether- and ester-based materials.<\/p>\n<\/div>
