Our injection molding plastic materials guide shows key material traits and their hierarchy. At its base, you’ll find commodity plastics, typically lower in cost and suited for general applications – the reliable workhorses. As you ascend the graphic, materials progress, offering enhanced performance, and culminate at the apex, designed for the most demanding applications where only the best will do. The dark areas show the relative cost and the typical temperature ranges to quickly identify the ideal material family for your project’s specific requirements.
