What gas-assisted injection molding techniques reduce weight in polyethylene outdoor tree boxes?
Gas-assisted injection molding (GAIM) is an innovative technique used to reduce weight in polyethylene outdoor tree boxes while maintaining strength and durability. By injecting nitrogen gas into the molten plastic, hollow sections are created, minimizing material usage without compromising structural integrity. This method enhances design flexibility, reduces sink marks, and improves cycle times. Key benefits include lower production costs, reduced warping, and eco-friendly material savings. GAIM is ideal for large outdoor planters, ensuring lightweight yet robust solutions for landscaping and urban greenery projects.
