Nowadays, injection molding has become the most common method of manufacturing plastic parts, it is ideal for mass production.
Many things can be made by injection molding, such as buckle, packaging, bottle caps, automotive parts and components, toys, mechanical parts (including gears), components of medical products, one-piece chairs and small tables, storage containers, etc.
In order to facilitate the molding process, engineers must be very carefully to consider all molding conditions, below elements must be taken into account while designing:
1. The material that injected
2. The material of the mold
3. The desired shape and features of the part
4. The properties of the molding machine
How:
Heat the plastic material until it becomes fluid, deliver the molten material with plunger or screw to injection nozzle at the same time, and then inject the material into mold cavities, after the molded plastic article cooling down and curing, eject it out with ejector pin.
Advantages:
1. Can be used to manufacture plastic parts in complicated shape or different material
2. Suitable to be used for mass production because of the efficiency
3. Fine dimensional stability
4. Can be fully automatic
5. With less material wasted
Disadvantages:
1. Unavoidable results including parting line, ejector pin marks, or gate marks are usually present on the finish products
2. The cost of mold and equipment is high
3. The overall structure of the mold is complicated, thus it's not easy to do further processing
Notices:
The quality of the mold is one of the important parts during production, in order to have nice performance and benefit from the production, it is necessary to select suitable die steel.
Ideal die steel should have below features:
1. Easy to polished
2. Corrosion resistance
3. Crack resistance
4. Transcalent
5. Abrasion resistance

POM
POM is a thermoplastic polymer material. In looks it is shinier than Nylon. It is well known for its excellent tensile strength and chemical resistance. Acetal is also recognised for its flexural memory when put under pressure over a long period of time. This handy little plastic buckle is great at withstanding extreme conditions too. From -40 °C to 60 °C. POM is recommended for high performance use due to how versatile it is however it can be more expensive. POM is slightly lighter than Nylon but there is not a large difference between the two.
Nylon
Nylon is a synthetic polymer known for its durability and flexibility. It is lightweight, resistant to abrasion, and has good impact resistance. Nylon buckles are often used in outdoor gear and luggage due to their strength and reliability. They can withstand rough handling and remain intact, providing secure closure for your suitcase.Due to the materials used to create nylon, it isn’t the best under repeated humidity changes. When dry, tensile strength is higher and impact is lower. When wet, tensile strength is low, and impact defence is very high. Be aware however that when wet, nylon can swell.
So Nylon or POM? What should I use?
When choosing between nylon and POM buckles, consider your specific needs. If you prioritize lightweight and flexible options, nylon may be the better choice. However, if you require superior strength and durability, especially for heavy-duty luggage, POM buckles may be more suitable. For more you contact with us.
