Low Pressure Injection Service

The high-quality low-pressure infusion service provided by Zhuofei Technology is capable of producing end-use parts with production-level quality, whether it is rigid plastic or rubber material. As a leading low-pressure infusion service provider, Zhuofei Technology uses advanced low-pressure infusion technology, without expensive high-pressure molds, and can produce parts that meet high standards through precise processes and high-quality materials.

Zhuofei Technology's low-pressure infusion process provides precise part dimensions and excellent surface quality, ensuring that end-use parts meet production-grade standards. The final quality of the part depends on the accuracy of the mold, the geometry of the part and the material used. Typically, the shrinkage rate of low-pressure infusion parts is about +0.15%.

Low Pressure Injection Materials
Low-pressure infusion parts are often compared to injection molded materials. For example, a rigid low-pressure infusion part might be described as "polycarbonate-like," while a more flexible plastic might be described as "polypropylene-like." We have divided our molded materials into general categories to help you make decisions faster and get the best performance in your project. The list below describes material categories and technical examples when selecting polyurethane.

Available Finishes for Low Pressure Injection Parts

Parts have a smooth, satin-like finish due to the master pattern being bead-blasted matte. Clear and translucent parts with this finish will appear frosted. Matte finishes are useful for handheld and high-touch areas as it reduces fingerprint visibility.

A finish that includes some sheen but not high reflectivity. Semi-gloss finishes are in between high-gloss and matte, resulting in a smooth, easy-to-clean surface.

A highly reflective finish is made by polishing the master pattern before making the mold. High-gloss has a high sheen and will have the highest transparency for clear parts. High-gloss is useful for cosmetic models, cleanable surfaces, and lenses.

Zhuofei can provide additional processing, including custom textures, secondary finishes, painting, and more.

Low Pressure Injection Color Options

Polyurethanes can be blended with pigments to achieve a variety of colors. Naturally, a urethane may be amber to milky-white in color. Zhuofei’s clear urethane options are formulated to be colorless. Below are Zhuofei’s color options:

  • Black
  • Color-Match
  • Natural (unpigmented)
  • Clear (colorless)

Overview: What is Low-Pressure Perfusion?

Low-Pressure Injection is a material handling technique commonly used in manufacturing and engineering. This process involves injecting fluid materials (such as plastics, resins or other chemical materials) into a mold or structure at a pressure lower than normal. Low-Pressure Injection has several main applications: composite manufacturing, repair and reinforcement, production processes.
