What industries do you know about injection molding machines? Many people will laugh it off. After all, as long as it is a plastic product, it will be related to the injection molding machine industry, and there are too many plastic products. Of course, it is not impossible to take an inventory. The following will introduce you to the five major industries related to injection molding machines:
1. Automobile industry
I believe everyone is familiar with the application of plastic products in automobiles. In order to improve the power performance of automobiles, reduce fuel consumption and reduce exhaust pollution, many automobile manufacturers are taking the road of lightweight automobiles. In the field of lightweight materials, high-strength plastics undoubtedly have a natural advantage in terms of price compared to two more expensive materials, light metal and high-strength steel.
As a result, composite materials, also known as long glass fiber modified plastics, are increasingly used in automobiles, such as front-end components, bumper brackets, seat frames, interior parts brackets, battery brackets, etc. related plastic products.
2. Packaging industry
China is the world's largest packaging manufacturer and consumer. The proportion of plastic packaging in the total output value of the packaging industry has exceeded 30%, and it plays an irreplaceable role in various fields of food, beverage, daily necessities, and industrial and agricultural production. Plastic packaging ranks second only to paper packaging in the proportion of packaging product structure.
3. Household appliance industry
By studying the utilization of plastics in different household appliances, we can draw such a set of data: among household appliances, the four major household appliances, TVs, washing machines, refrigerators and air conditioners, have a greater demand for plastic raw materials, especially washing machines and refrigerators. , up to 30%-40% per unit, or even more. The proportion of plastic in TV sets is 23%-25%, and that in air conditioners is 11%.
In addition, under the accelerated pace of "replacing steel with plastic" in the home appliance industry in the future, its demand for plastics will be greater.
Fourth, the optical industry
Optical plastics have been used to replace optical glass to make optical parts for nearly 40 years. Plastics are mainly used in optical polarizers, spectacle frames, automotive lenses, etc. in the optical industry.
5. 3C industry
The 3C industry is the collective name for Computer, Communication and Consumer Electronics. Traditional consumer electronic products include TVs, personal computers, and combined speakers. With the development of technology and the continuous emergence of new products, emerging consumer electronic products represented by smart TVs, tablet computers, smart phones and wearable devices are developing rapidly. The overall industry has always maintained an active trend. The production of parts and components in electronic communication products, such as light guide plates, buttons, mobile phone casings, electronic connectors, etc., all require precision injection molding machines to complete.
