GAIN

Gas assisted injection moulding is a manufacturing process that uses nitrogen gas to void thick sections of plastic products (examples: tool handles, long shafts, frames). The process calls for nitrogen gas to be injected immediately following the injection of the plastic. The gas will travel through the centre of the mould cavity displacing any residual molten plastic. With the applied pressure, the plastic will then coat the mould cavity. Once the gas is evacuated, the resulting part is structurally solid and aesthetically compliant to the moulding requirements with a hollow core.

The advantages to this process are:

  • Reduce / eliminate potential aesthetic surface defects caused by material shrinking
  • Reduce the production cycle time while ensuring a better adhesion of the plastic to the mould
    cavity
  • Produce a rigid product without augmenting the part weight

 

TOOL ROOM

We have the equipment and expertise to service and modify molds in house. This allows us to, work with our clients to improve their products and address any mold issues immediately and all without involving a third party.

FOAMING

With automated foaming tables, we are able to add hot-melt adhesive to specific products as a value added activity. By undertaking this step in-house we allow our customer to save time and resources.
