Aliphatic Polyketone (POK / POKETONE) is a high-performance thermoplastic widely recognized as an upgraded alternative to POM and PA for dynamic sealing and sliding components. Compared with traditional engineering plastics, POK features ultra-low water absorption, excellent hydrolysis resistance, outstanding oil/grease resistance, low creep, high elastic recovery, low friction, and minimal stick-slip behavior.
These unique mechanical and tribological properties make POK the ideal material for hydraulic systems, fluid control equipment, and precision moving parts that require long-cycle dynamic operation and stable sealing performance.
Most importantly, all qualified POK grades and custom-modified POK compounds are fully injectable, supporting high-precision injection molding for mass production, as well as machining from extruded rods for prototype samples.
In injection molding, surface texture is more than just an aesthetic choice—it’s a critical design element that directly impacts mold functionality, part quality, and production efficiency. Whether you’re designing a glossy electronic housing, a leather-grained automotive interior, or a textured consumer product, the relationship between your chosen surface finish and the draft angle is make-or-break. Get this pairing wrong, and you’ll face scratched parts, uneven texture replication, or costly mold reworks.
This blog dives into how surface textures (from mirror polish to deep embossed grain) interact with draft angles, covering mold design principles, common pitfalls, and best practices across industries.
In the high-stakes world of medical device manufacturing, material selection isn’t just a design choice—it’s a critical decision that impacts patient safety, regulatory compliance, and product performance. Among the most innovative materials transforming medical injection molding are Cyclic Olefin Copolymers (COC) and Cyclic Olefin Polymers (COP). These advanced engineering plastics offer a unique combination of properties that make them indispensable for modern medical applications, from diagnostic tools to drug delivery systems.

READ MOREIn injection molding production, the hot runner temperature controller is not just a simple heating device. It is the core equipment that stabilizes melt fluidity, eliminates defective products, and ensures consistent molding quality. Many manufacturers face common issues such as unstable mold temperature, material scorching, silver streaks, and uneven filling — most of these problems stem from mismatched temperature controller configurations and unreasonable channel matching with the hot runner mold structure.
This blog will share a practical and industry-standard method to select hot runner temperature controllers, combined with real mold structure cases, to help you quickly complete accurate model selection and avoid production losses.
