At BEC Group plastic injection moulding HDPE is used to make everything from bath toys, food containers and household goods. HDPE can also be used in the manufacture of filters – we used it for IMI Webber ‘s specialist over-moulded sintered filter. Its excellent chemical resistance properties made it the best material choice for the automotive environment. Part of a pneumatic manifold for a 4×4 suspension system, HDPE is comparatively a good materials candidate for this project and surpassed all other material options.

Keep an eye out for BEC’s new recycled range (released early 2023) which will include a recycled HDPE for use by our customers. Get in touch to find out more email hello@becgroup.com or call 01425 613131 today.

Plastic injection moulding HDPE is one of the most commonly used plastics in injection moulding. HDPE, or High-Density Polyethylene is a thermoplastic polymer renowned for being tough, cheap, and versatile. Due to these and other benefits, it is one of the most popular manufacturing plastics, accordingly over 30 million tonnes of HDPE are bought and sold around the globe every year. HDPE can be blow moulded, compression moulded, and injection moulded.

Tough-Cast 65D is a two component polyurethane casting resin that is virtually indestructible. It exhibits excellent impact resistance, abrasion resistance, strength and chemical resistance. Tough-Cast 65D has the look and feel of thermoplastics such as abs while maintaining a high heat deflection. It is designed for making durable prototypes, reproductions, end use production parts, rollers, etc.. It contains zero solvents and can be hand mixed or used with automated dispensing equipment. Tough-Cast 65D works excellent in rtv silicone molds.

I have made many ball mounts for my GoPros and bushings for my cars and motorcycles. I have yet to figure out how to eliminate all the bubbles but still more than good enough for my applications.

· High thermal expansion· Poor UV resistance (additives are available)· Subject to stress cracking· Difficult to bond (glues)· Flammable· Can look cheap· Poor temperature capability

· Low cost· Tough· Good chemical resistance (a lot of chemicals are supplied in HDPE containers)· Widely recycled· Food grades available· Can be heat welded (gas pipes)· Doesn’t leach into food and water, containers etc· Rigidity

Bought the product as a last gasp. Desperation move for a very difficult application. Used it for the first time and I’m beyond happy with the results. Mixing was easy and so far the parts work perfectly. Long-term durability will be my only remaining question.

Great product, easily casted, gels in 2-3 min. Demolds in 30 min or less. This product renewed my wearing and depressing prototyping while using inferior products. This material enabled me to creat a very strict tolerance part, with bubble free glass finishes. Wish I would have discovered SRC products sooner

Due to the morons at FedEx giving my order the Grand Tour of the lower 48 states, I haven't had the opportunity to try this product personally. I know it will do the job perfectly once I have it.

Tough-Cast 65D Black is a two part casting resin that is virtually indestructible and is designed to make durable prototypes and reproductions.

One of the most-commonly recycled plastics, HDPE is used in milk bottles and pipes to shampoo bottles and shopping bags. In the UK, the majority of recycling facilities accept HDPE. Once collected, sorted, and cleaned, HDPE is melted down and cooled into pellets to be re-used. It is more cost-effective and sustainable to recycle HDPE over creating virgin HDPE (and use large amounts of fossil fuels in the process).

Great resin with excellent strength! Semi flexible in thinner cross regions but ridged in thicker pours. My go to resin! Customer service from specialty resin is top notch aswell! Highly reccomend the tough cast 65d black

Recycled HDPE comes in both food-grade and non-food-grade and can be used in containers, recycling bins and outdoor decking among many other applications.
