Benefits of the injection molding process for UHMWPE

Faster cycle times versus machining
Reduced material waste
Capable of high- and low-volume production runs
Company names, logos, part numbers, and date codes can be molded in
Undercuts and internal threads can be molded in
Overmolding and insert molding is possible

Injection-moldable UHMWPE resin is an extremely versatile material and well suited to many industrial applications. The injection molding process allows for reduced time and costs in comparison to more traditional machined UHMWPE production—benefits we pass on to you. Injection molding also allows for more advanced designs and geometry, including over-molding on other materials, bonding with elastomers, and insert molding of threaded metal inserts.

Testimonials

“Thanks for all of your support over the years, you have been consistently my easiest supplier to work with”

“You guys never let me down and always help me in a bind”

“Melet has a strong engineering department and our Rep is really good at understanding the technical side of it. They can do stuff that is far more critical, with tolerances that are far more exacting.”

“I have liked Melet’s response and research on troubleshooting, and their methodology to address any problem. I didn’t have to push it or drive it. It went.”

“We run to deadline and usually those deadlines get crunched. I know that Melet will do everything possible to hit that date. I can count on them.”
