Injection Molding Commodity Plastics
Commodity plastics are found throughout daily life, from limited-use items such as plastic bags to high-value items that don’t require precise performance characteristics.
Injection Molding Commodity Plastics Applications
A commodity plastic is a thermoplastic for applications in which mechanical properties and service environments are not critical. Usually affordable and readily available, these plastics are often used for mass production. Items made from commodity plastics include:
- Plates
- Carrying trays
- Printed materials

- Magnetic tape
- Clothing
- Beverage and trash containers
