INJECTION MOLDING

Kent City Plastics injection molds a wide range of thermoplastic, engineered resins on presses ranging from 85T to 500T. These resins include elastomers like TPV’s and TPU’s, glass-filled nylon’s and polypropylene for applications in the industrial, transportation, recreational, and agricultural markets. In addition, Kent City Plastics employs a very unique technology called “Lost Core” molding which is a process that allows for the molding of hollow plastic parts with complicated interior designed details in one molded product. With typical applications like pump impellers, manifold tubes, and high-end bicycle wheels, they are using engineered resins like PVDF, PTFE, and carbon fiber composites to produce complex geometries for their OEM customers.
