Injection Moulding, Die Casting Process

Abstract

Synthetic materials are solid organic substances which have been produced artificially in a chemical process and are not found in nature. In their properties they differ to a large extent from metallic materials. They are considerably lighter, have a much lower elasticity module and are excellent insulating material. Considering their low weight, their strength is rather remarkable, diminishing, however, with rising temperatures, so that their use at temperatures exceeding 120°C is a rare exception.
