Popular Resin Combinations for Plastic Injection Molding

Red and blue polymer resin in sample test tubes.

One of the major strengths of polymer resins in injection molding is the staggering array of plastics to choose from in the use of your part molds. There are plastics that are flexible, rigid, transparent, heat-resistant, strong, and other characteristics. Today we’re talking about another exciting feature: they are also combinable. Much like with metals, polymers can be combined to make new blended plastics with both or new strengths. Let’s go over three of the most popular resin combinations for plastic injection molding and where to go from there.
