The early injection molding machines were plimger machines. The plastic was melted in a heated cylinder and injected into the mold by the plunger. This type of machine is no longer found, except in research laboratories, for making very small quantities of experimental articles. Plunger machines are not discussed in this book. [Pg.2]

Thermoplastics represent the most important group of plastics to be processed in injection molding. Typical injection-molded parts made from thermoplastics include automobile hubcaps and bumpers, gears in kitchen appliances, screw-on caps and Ms, bottle crates, printer cartridges, and bail-point pens. Even the Compact Disk (CD) is produced from polycarbonate (PC) by the injection molding method. [Pg.2]
