Plastic toys are a common product in our daily life, so do you know how it is made? YG injection molding machine manufacturers tell you that most of them are made by injection molding. Other plastic products, plastic chairs, plastic basins, plastic baskets, plastic toys, car upholstery, earphones, etc. are also made by injection molding.

Why are children's toys made of plastic?

Plastic is a material with high polymer as the main component. Plastic softens when heated, hardens when cold, easy to form, easy to color, and wear-resistant. And the plastic toy is very light, and the baby will not have any pressure in the hand. Toys made of plastic are easier to disinfect and clean, and will not bring any hidden dangers to the baby. Another important reason is that plastics are easy to mold. Molten plastic is molded into various shapes of toys through various shapes of molds. This is why plastic toys are so colorful.

So what are the materials used to make plastic toys?

Plastic children's toys are a large category of toys, so what kind of plastic are plastic children's toys made of? There are many raw materials for plastic toys, such as ABS, PVC, PP, PC, PE, EVA, PU, etc.

ABS is the main material of the plug-in building blocks, and the three letters represent the three substances of "acrylonitrile, butadiene and styrene" respectively.

Most of the toys (except balls) that need to be inflated are made of PVC, such as croissants, vaulting horses, and balloons.

PP materials are mainly used in small toys such as gutta-percha and rattles. First, they can be imported, and second, they can be sterilized by boiling in high temperature water.

Soft PE is mainly used for film products, such as food cling film and plastic bags; its hard properties are suitable for one-time injection molding products and hollow products.

The most typical PE is to make rocking horses and slides, which need to be formed at one time, and at the same time, there are medium and large toys that are hollow in the middle.

There are basically three kinds of wheels for our common strollers, such as baby strollers, scooters, balance cars, and bicycles, foam, solid, and inflatable. In addition to the EVA on the foam wheel, there is also a PU.

How are toys made?

The production of toys is mainly made by plastic toy manufacturing machine. There are four stages in the production process, namely filling, holding pressure, cooling, and demoulding. Under the push of the screw, the plastic is injected into the closed cavity. During the advancing process, the plastic rubs against the cavity wall, and the heated plastic becomes molten. Under high pressure, molten plastic is injected into the mold cavity for molding. After cooling, forming and solidifying, it is the final product.

Other plastic products have roughly gone through the above steps, but only use different shapes of molds. Therefore, you can make different finished products by changing different molding dies. YG injection molding machine manufacturers provide molds for various products, such as plastic chair making machine,plastic chair molds, plastic toy mould, plastic pot molds, plastic tray molds, etc.
