Plastic materials, as the essential raw materials for products manufactured by plastic mold factories, significantly impact the quality of plastic products. Therefore, great care must be taken in selecting plastic raw materials. Dongguan Yize Mold Co., Ltd. typically processes and manufactures products based on customer-specified raw materials. Additionally, we can recommend materials based on the actual application needs of our customers' products. So, how should plastic materials be selected? How are plastic materials classified, and what are their unique characteristics?

Plastics are classified by their uses as follows:

• General Plastics: High production volume, wide range of applications, excellent molding performance, and affordable pricing.

• Engineering Plastics: Capable of withstanding external forces, with outstanding mechanical properties and dimensional stability, maintaining excellent performance at high and low temperatures, suitable for engineering structural components.

• Specialty Plastics: Possess special functions (such as heat resistance, self-lubrication, etc.) for special application requirements.

As for the characteristics of plastics, they include the following:

1. Lightweight with high specific strength.

2. Excellent electrical insulation properties.

3. Strong chemical stability.

4. Superior friction-reducing and wear-resistant properties.

5. Good light transmission and protective properties.

6. Advantages in shock absorption and sound reduction.
