Injection molding plastic is IVP's specialty. Our manufacturing floor features the latest equipment to keep quality high and costs low. Among our injection-molding presses are servo-electric machines which are the most accurate and repeatable equipment used in our processes. We also staff a dedicated tool room around the clock to support our molding operations.
At IVP, we understand that you want a part that looks as good as it performs, so we make your component’s final appearance a priority. In-mold decorating creates a permanent bond melted to the substrate that resists fading and abrasion for up to 10 years—ideal for safety information. Plastic component color matching is available for interior automotive plastics and similar products, and pad-printing techniques allow us to print graphics on plastic parts and assemblies.
When making the switch from metal to plastic, thermoplastic components must have the proper reinforcement and strength to handle the stresses and loads that the previous metal experienced so that the plastic can be a suitable alternative. It's at this time when many metal-to-plastic conversions will fail in the application. For these reasons, our IVP team takes extra steps during the injection molding and plastic component color matching stages to create a successful conversion solution.
Injection molding capabilities include:
- Insert molding
- In-mold labeling/decaling
- Gas-assist
- Color matching
Injection molding has proven time and time again to be the best investment for manufacturers that are looking to speed up production processes while lowering material costs. Find out for yourself how this service capability provided by IVP can provide you with greater component performance.
