What is Injection Molding PMMA?
Our injection moluding acrylic process ensures high optical clarity, excellent weather resistance, and superior surface quality. Using advanced molding technology, we produce acrylic plastic molding components with outstanding durability and scratch resistance.
- Mold Design: Precision-engineered molds optimize transparency and minimize defects.
- Processing: PMMA injection molding heats and injects acrylic resin into custom molds.
- Cooling & Solidification: Controlled cooling minimizes internal stress and optimizes PMMA’s optical clarity.
- Post-Processing: Treatments like polishing, UV coating, or painting enhance surface and performance.
With expertise in custom acrylic molding, material selection, and process optimization, we provide scalable injection mold acrylic solutions for industries requiring clarity, strength, and weather resistance.
Injection Molding PMMA Parameters Table
| Parameter | Recommended Range |
|---|---|
| Wall Thickness | 1.0mm - 6.0mm |
| Maximum Part Size | 1500mm x 1000mm x 600mm |
| Minimum Feature Size | 0.5mm - 1.2mm |
| Tolerances | ±0.02mm - ±0.10mm |
PMMA Material Properties
Acrylic injection molding is a preferred process for manufacturing transparent and impact-resistant components. Its high optical clarity, UV resistance, and durability make it ideal for applications requiring injection moulding acrylic parts with long-lasting performance. Key Material Properties:
- Superior transparency – Over 90% light transmittance, excellent for optical applications.
- High impact resistance – Tougher than glass, reducing breakage risks.
- UV and weather resistance – Maintains clarity and durability under prolonged sunlight exposure.
- Scratch resistance – Hard surface withstands abrasion better than many plastics.
| Property | Density | Tensile Strength | Flexural Strength | Impact Strength (Unnotched) | Heat Deflection Temp (0.45 MPa) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Value/Description | 1.17 - 1.20g/cm³ | 50 - 78 MPa | 90 - 130 MPa | 2 - 5 kJ/m² | 90 - 105℃ |
- The above parameters represent the baseline performance of the materials. Actual application should be dynamically optimized based on specific working conditions.
Advantages & Disadvantages of PMMA Injection Molding
PMMA (Polymethyl Methacrylate) injection molding is widely valued for its excellent clarity. While PMMA offers impressive visual and performance benefits, it also has some processing and durability limitations. Understanding the advantages and disadvantages of PMMA injection molding service can help you determine whether it’s the ideal fit for your application.
Advantages
- High optical clarity – Ideal for lenses, displays, and lighting.
