Injection molding is a process where a molten material is injected at a high pressure into a mold, to form a certain shape or form.  Different molten materials yield different properties of the final product, and also have different processes.

Compression molding is another popular manufacturing method for PPSU rods and boards. The process involves placing PPSU resin in a mold cavity and compressing it under high pressure and temperature. This results in a solid and dense product with excellent mechanical properties. Compression molded PPSU rods and boards are often used in applications where dimensional stability and strength are critical.

Injection molding is a versatile manufacturing method that can produce complex shapes and sizes of PPSU rods and boards. The process involves melting the PPSU resin and injecting it into a mold cavity under high pressure. Once the material cools and solidifies, the mold can be opened, and the finished product can be removed. Injection molding is ideal for producing small to medium-sized PPSU rods and boards with high precision and consistency.

ABS is suited for many user products where a relatively low cost, good surface finish, colouration and low temperatures are involved. Applications may include plastic computer input devices such as keyboards, plastic toys and building blocks, electric tool enclosure, carrier bags and medical equipment. Another interesting one is bulletproof windows, where the transparency and impact strength comes to its full right.

Polyphenylsulfone (PPSU) is a high-performance engineering thermoplastic that offers exceptional thermal stability and resistance to chemicals. It is commonly used in various industries, including aerospace, automotive, and medical, due to its excellent mechanical properties. PPSU is available in different forms, such as rods, sheets, and tubes. In this article, we will discuss the common manufacturing methods for PPSU rods and boards.

ABS is a plastic with a fairly low melting point in the world of injection molding. ABS melts at just above 100⁰C, and is typically injected at a temperature of just above 200⁰C. While this lower melting temperature makes the injection process cheaper and easier, it also limits the use of ABS in high temperature applications. ABS is a thermoplastic, which means that it can be melted again and reused in the process.

Even though the strength ABS is too low for hard wearing engineering applications, it is still high for domestic plastics, especially in regards to dimensional rigidity, resilience and wear resistance

Extrusion is one of the most common manufacturing methods for PPSU rods and boards. The process involves melting the PPSU resin and forcing it through a die to create a continuous profile. The extruded PPSU profiles can be cut into desired lengths to produce rods and boards of different sizes. Extrusion allows for tight tolerances and consistent quality control, making it an ideal manufacturing method for high-volume production.

ABS, or Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene, is one of the materials that may be used in this process. ABS is a thermoplastic polymer, with properties that lend itself very well to the injection molding process. Many consumer products that we see and use today have been manufactured using ABS injection molding .

Machining is a subtractive manufacturing method that involves cutting, drilling, and shaping PPSU rods and boards using CNC machines. Machining allows for flexibility in terms of size, shape, and tolerances of the final product. This method is particularly useful for producing custom-designed PPSU parts that cannot be manufactured using other methods.

Energy required for melting down the plastic is low, and a lower mold temperature is needed which results in higher production speed

The natural transparency of ABS enables it to be used in see-through applications, but also makes it easy to add any colour to the final product

The properties of ABS show a good marriage between in its constituents – butadiene provides ductility and resilience, nitrile bonds provide strength and the styrene components give an aesthetic finish.

ABS has mechanical properties that makes the post processing thereof cheap and easy. It is highly machinable, and responds well to typical plastic processes such as glue fixing and polishing. The strength of ABS is not high enough to make it a prominent figure in engineering plastics, but it is sufficient to use in domestic end user products. It does however have a good impact strength and material resilience which it owes to its chemical composition.
