For at least a decade, gas-assisted injection molding (GAIM) processes have been used successfully to form hollow, tubular products, such as appliance handles, using fiber-reinforced thermoplastics.

Known for producing hollow parts, gas-assist techniques can overcome many of the limitations of conventional injection molding. The first patents for gasassist injection molding came in the early ...

Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) resin is being employed in a gas-assisted injection molding process to reduce weight and costs of tubular cooling system parts for automotive engines. The Fortron material ...

• Gas-assist injection molding can cut weight, cycle time, and press requirements. • Experienced molders can help OEMs develop tooling, refine process parameters, and choose materials for high-gloss ...

During the injection molding process, harsh conditions (high temperature, high speed) and deterioration of plastic additives can release high volumes of decomposition gases. Mold deposits, gas burns, ...

Injection molding machine suppliers feature prominently at this month’s PTXPO in Chicago; see what the press makers have planned for their exhibits.

Michael Ladney, who played a key role in automotive plastics with his Detroit Plastic Molding Co., and became a contentious, litigious figure on the gas-assisted injection molding sector, died on ...

One of the most interesting new designs was the first-ever use of a single-piece chrome tube directly molded in a composite structure for vehicle protection. The part is a brush guard used to shield ...
