Injection Molding Surface Finishes

Plastic injection moulded parts come in all types of surface finishes; from glossy finishes for premium products to bold surface patterns and grippy textures. These are selected depending on the desired appearance, application, and cost of the product. All parts are surface finished to some degree, but the type and cost of this finish can vary greatly. Why do we use these different finishes? How are they produced? And how much do they cost? Read on to find out. What are the different surface finishes? There are many different surface finish options for plastic injection moulding. Broadly, these are split into four categories: high-gloss, semi-gloss, matte and textured. A high-gloss finish on a moulding is usually necessary when the part is visible and needs a premium look and feel. Common examples include panels on televisions and computers. A diamond polish … Continue reading
