Injection moulding is suited to thermoplastics because the material can be

  • A.melted, forced into a cold mould and solidified
  • B.cured chemically inside a heated mould
  • C.drawn continuously through a shaped die
  • D.inflated against the wall of a cooled mould

Answer: A

Correct answer: melted, forced into a cold mould and solidified

The cycle suits a thermoplastic exactly: the granules are melted in the barrel, injected under pressure into a cooled mould, allowed to solidify and ejected, and the process repeats every few seconds. Nothing is changed chemically, so scrap and sprues can be reground and used again. A thermoset requires a heated mould and a cure time instead, which is why it is compression or transfer moulded.
