If you have ever wondered how plastic toys, water pipes and the wheels on your skateboard are made, read on. That has to do with a nifty process of molding PVC resin. It is a very useful type of plastic, and it can be formed into many different shapes.
Some key techniques are used in molding PVC resin so that the plastic is shaped properly and rapidly. One of the most common is injection molding. With this process, vinyl chips are melted down in the form of PVC resin and then injected into a mould to cool and turn into solids. Another is extrusion molding, in which the plastic is pressed through a shaped orifice to fashion long pieces.
Due to its strength and flexibility, PVC resin is used in many consumer products. PVC resin can be molded into a range of stress-free, impactful shapes and forms that serve a variety of purposes, from fun toys to tough pipes. Companies wanting special designs love PETG precisely because it can be easily colored and shaped.
Molding it, however, requires thorough attention to detail to guarantee that the final product is perfect and robust. This allows to produce resistant and durable products by using appropriate molds and controlling heat and pressure during the coating process. This meticulous process is what differentiates PVC resin from the rest of the plastics out there.
Build your mold: The very first thing you need is a mold that is the shape that will work for you. By special computer programs that show images, or by drawing it yourself.
Mix the PVC resin: With your mold prepared, it’s now time to prepare the PVC resin. That means getting the plastic warmed to the right temperature for molding.
