Plastic Injection Molding Solutions for the Construction Industry

enables high-volume production of plastic parts made from a range of thermoplastic polymers.In theconstructionindustry, these parts are used in flooring and roofing products as well asconstructiontools and heavy equipment.This blog explores the role of injection molding in creating durable plastic components and assemblies for everything from conventionalconstructionapplications to innovative SillDry window and door flashing technologies.

Design & Material Selection Considerations

When designing an injection-molded part, it is important to choose a material that can withstand the mechanical demands and environmental conditions of the given application.Working with several commodity and specialty plastics, The Rodon Group guides clients through thematerial selectionanddesignprocess to create custom injection-molded solutions for variousconstructionand building applications.Ourmaterial selectionincludes:

• Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS):High impact strength and corrosion resistance make ABS ideal for creating pipe fittings and protective tool housings.
• Polyamide (Nylon):Nylon is strong, waterproof, and fast-drying, making it well suited for injection-molded pipe fittings, bearings, and other components used in high-moisture environments.
• 高效冲击聚苯乙烯（HIPS）:Offering exceptional impact resistance, HIPS is commonly used to create durable housings and components for heavy-dutyconstructionequipment.
• Low-Density and High-Density Polyethylene (LDPE and HDPE):LDPE is ideal for fabricating lightweight components, while higher-strength HDPE is better suited for pipe connectors and rigid building materials.
• Polycarbonate (PC):Polycarbonate is lightweight and transparent, making it a great material for machinery guards and clear tubing.
• Polypropylene (PP):Offering high resistance to chemicals, impact, and mechanical stress, polypropylene is commonly molded into equipment housings, machinery components, and more.

Our Injection Molding Certifications

Partnering with a qualified and certified plastic injection molder is essential for ensuring compliance with theconstructionindustry's strict safety andqualitystandards.At The Rodon Group, our multilevel approach to quality management involves:

• Two-step quality inspection:Our two-partqualityinspection process includes two carefully coordinated inspection phases: first-piece and in-process.Prior to production, first-piece inspections are performed in the laboratory by checking dimensions, functionality, and appearance.Once parts are in production, in-process inspections are performed by sampling parts and verifying their compliance with the required specifications.
• Numerous certifications:We operate in accordance with ISO 9001:2015manufacturingstandards and maintain several industry-specific certifications to meet the needs of a diverse client base.
• Quality laboratory:Our laboratory is fully equipped with the latest measurement devices, inspection tools, and testing equipment.

Our Partnership with SillDry

Through our partnership with SillDry, we help create advanced window and door flashing solutions for architects, builders, contractors, and other industry professionals.SillDry's injection-molded, one-piece expandabledesignis key to its success, allowing it to outperform conventional flashing products when it comes to easy installation and reliable prevention of water intrusion.Benefits and features include:

• Revolutionary design:SillDry's innovative patented design includes:
• ASTM-compliant pre-sloped sill
• Precision-engineered drainage channels
• Raised dam to prevent interior water intrusion
• Cost and time savings:The self-leveling, one-piece accordiondesignensures quick and easy installation, saving contractors time and money during the building process.
• Unparalleled versatility:Designed with the needs of contractors and designers in mind, SillDry fits windows ranging standard from 18 to 154 inches and larger sizes available on a custom basis.SillDry is compatible with virtually all standard commercial and residentialconstructionmaterials.
• Durable construction:Made from injection-molded thermoplastic olefin (TPO), SillDry creates a reliable water-tight seal while withstanding temperature fluctuations, UV exposure, and impact.
