Materials / Commodities

We are used to working with all the classic and less classic plastic materials except PVC (PP, PE, PC, ABS, PC+ABS, PA 6, PA 6.6, PBT, PMMA, TPU, PC+GF, AS, PTFE, POM, PEHD, PEEK…). Our main suppliers are Sabic, Bayer and Chimei.
About the steel used for our moulds, for export plastic molds we work only with the best steel suppliers like Assab (Sweden), Buderus (Germany), Daido Steel (Japan) LKM( the biggest one in China)… For our standard component suppliers, we work with Hasco and DME.

We are used to working with our suppliers the same way we work with our customers. It means good long-term relationships with high-quality policy.

Complex moulds: SINCERE TECH has a rich experience in difficult plastic mould and parts, complex moulds and is an expert in finding solutions to your issues. SINCERE TECH is a real specialist in difficult tooling. To give a classic example: many design companies create plastic products without thinking about mould construction. Then, when the designs are sent to toolmakers, it can be hard for them to make the exact parts (Difficult design, many sliders, many lifters, double injection with materials non-bonding well together, many details in awkward places…). Most of the classic toolmakers will accept the parts and say that they are able to do it. And then, they will have problems with the plastic injection mould construction, the lead time will be extended and the quality of the tool will not be as expected. Often, these companies have to contact SINCERE TECH to help them to resolve their problems. If you are not sure about the complexity of your part, be sure about your mould maker’s professionalism. SINCERE TECH works closely with its customers in order to resolve any issues.

Thin Wall molding: it permits a precise, very accurate molding of plastics and gives better details to the product. This is the name referring to products with a wall thickness lower than 2mm. Usually, the flow is quick, permits a short cycle time and a cost saving.

Hot runner Systems: the special process of injection of plastics where the plastic is kept hot when going through cavities of the mould while the rest of the mould is getting cold to solidify the plastic part and create the molded part: this permits to save plastic material. This is mainly used for parts with medium or large sizes. We are used to working with all popular companies like Yudo, Incoe, Synventive, Husky, HRS… We also have the technology to make our own hot runner systems if the production of the parts (Molding) is made in-house. This again allows our customers to save costs.

Optical Lens Molding: precision molding for glass plastic. This is the technique to produce transparent plastic molded parts (For example Security cameras parts such as the dome cover or also phone frames).

Gas-assist Injection Molding: the plastic parts are gas-assisted molded which means that gas (Most often is nitrogen) is injected at the final stage of the part creation process. It permits to reduce the cycle time, the product weight, the risk of deformation and also the pressure tons injection needed. Moreover, it makes the part’s structure stronger with a better look.

LED/LCD frame molding: injection of plastics used for example to manufacture television screen monitors, computer back-light modules, GPS frames…

IMD, IMF, IML, IMR Molding: In-mold decoration. The decoration of the part is made inside the mould through a film. The film is printed before the molding with the designs wanted. It permits better productivity and extends the decoration’s lifetime. If the customer wants to change the design/decoration of the part, it is not necessary to make another mould but only to change the film. SINCERE TECH is experienced with In-mould forming, in-mould-labelling and in-mould by roller.

Overmolding: this technique permits to join several components together with a thermoplastic material. This reduces assembly and labour costs. Because the parts are made together, this allows less risk of improper termination or misalignment and increase the design flexibility. Moreover, thermoplastic provides better resistance to vibration or shocks. This technique permits to increase resistance, reduce costs and weights.

Insert Molding: this is a technique where a small part (Stamping part, optical part…) is added or inserted to the Injection molded part.

Two-Shot Molding: 2 independent injection units using 2 different materials and/or colours. The first material is injected; then, the mould rotates and the second material is injected to make 1 part. It permits a 2-colour-molding or also called double injection, 2 shot molding, two shot injection, 2K injection, two colour injection, bi-injection, dual shot molding or multi-component molding.

CNC Technology. CNC is an abbreviation for Computer Numerical Control. This is a machine extremely accurate controlled by computer programs permitting a CAM (Computer-aided Manufacturing) through a CAD (Computer Aided Design). Any plastic injection tool manufacturer uses it but the value added of SINCERE TECH is the experience, professionalism and training of the staff.

FMMS Molding or can be called RHCM (Rapid Heat Cycle Molding): excellence surface appearance: permits to take off the welding line. This process is integrated into the molding to save time. It is used for example for clear plastic parts.

US Welding: Ultrasonic Welding: process to weld/ join/ assemble plastic parts thanks to ultra-sounds.

Silk-Screen Printing:  this is to print logos or designs on parts.

Dip-Coating: this is the process of putting the component inside a liquid solution to apply a thin film on it. It permits to manage, change the hardness, the strength of the part by protecting it and expanding the lifetime of the product. Then, the excess liquid has to be drained and evaporation of the solvent is done to create the thin layer.

Laser Etching: this process is made for cutting a shape, a pattern, an image on the plastic part. It is also called laser graving.

Sputtering coating: this is the process of creating a very thin layer of conducting material on the component. It is also called Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD) and can be done with most metals like aluminium, stainless steel, copper…

EMI shielding: protect parts from electromagnetic interferences. It is used to protect electrical signals from the outside world. For instance, we use it with marine radars for Garmin.

Waterproof technology: SINCERE TECH has the experience to make water-resistant parts and is able to ensure in-house tests thanks to the IP68 tests.

Sub-assembly: this is the pre-assembly of a component who will be later on being assembled in a larger product.

R&D: SINCERE TECH has its own Research and Development department in order to work with the customers on their projects, advise them on designs, resolve issues and study the feasibility of those.

Quality Control: we have very high standards of quality control in order to respect any requirements from our customers. We have a 100% quality control on our plastic molded parts, it means we control any part coming out of our production.

Die Casting Mold Design Guideline

In order to be able to think in the same way within SinereTech, and to be able to use dimensions that are suitable for all applications we have created the following guidelines. Those guidelines will be used by the calculation engineers as well as a base for our designers in case of any die casting plastic mold project.

1. Injection gate and overall layout.
   1. Generally, the injection gate will be placed along the longest side of the part and the injection gate cylinder will be on the closest distance to that side (runner will normally not go around the cavity like a banana).
   2. If sliders are used or if other factors may influence the placement of the injection gate or runner ask the customer what they recommend in each case. Agree with a solution before the mold design. Then the general layout will be suitable for almost all die casting mold.
      
2. Distance between the cavity edges and the insert edges.
   1. For normal cases, except for die casting molds with bigger sliders or “deep” parts, use the distance 60-80mm. The upper limit is used for “bigger” parts and the lower limit is for smaller parts.
   2. For die casting tool with bigger sliders the distance can be up to 90-100mm, especially when it concerns the two sides to right and left from the slider side.
   3. For really deep parts the distance may be bigger than 100mm, but then we should ask the customer for advice if suitable the customers die casting machine.
   4. For really small parts the minimum distance of 50mm is used.
   5. The distance for the side towards the injection cylinder is the same as for the other sides, but about 10-15mm on top of that.
   6. In case we would like to optimize this distances. This can preferably be used for this type of die casting tools
3. Distance between cavities.
   1. Generally, a distance of 60-80mm is used for most cases.
   2. For really small parts the distance of a minimum 45-50mm is used.
   3. For really deep parts the distance is generally bigger than 80mm, but then we should ask the customer for advice if the die casting mold size is fitting to the customer’s machine.
   4. For cases when the runner is between the cavities the distance will be increased with 30-40mm on top of what the distance would have been without the runner (see a, b and c).
4. Distance between the edge of the insert and the edge of the mold base.
   1. Generally (for normal cases) the rule is to use the same distance as what is used for Injection Mold China (as long as the part do not require big sliders). That includes bigger parts, deeper parts and parts requiring smaller sliders. That means a distance of 60-90mm is OK for most molds.
   2. For molds with big hydraulic sliders, there is a need to increase the distance with 50-200mm on top of the normal distance (more than what would have been needed for injection moulding). However, for those cases, we should ask the customer for approval. One question is also how asymmetrical the mold can be in case a big slider is only used on the right or left side of the mould.
5. The thickness of A/B plates and inserts.
6. The thickness for both the inserts and A/B plates are mainly controlled by the part projected area. As a rule of thumb thicknesses specified in below table will be used when designing die casting molds. The projected areas are specified in cm². For big projected areas or deep moulds it is recommended to ask the customer for approval. There may be formulas to use in case those dimensions will be optimized

Plastic injection mold is the primary process for manufacturing plastic parts. Although the tooling of plastic injection mold is expensive, the cost per part is very low. Today most of the companies are looking for mold manufacturer China suppliers to reduce the mold cost.

Insert Molding (Moulding), Plastic Injection Molding

SINCERE TECH offers Insert Molding Services as an add-on to the plastic injection molding service.  There is one direct difference between the two processes; the plastic injection molding process only uses plastic material in order to create a product.  On the other hand, the Insert Molding process includes other types of plastic and/or metals in order to create a more advanced product. There are thousands of uses for Insert Molding manufacturing.

The Insert Molding Process

The Insert Molding process starts off by either inserting the metal inserts before the custom injection molding process, or they can be inserted during the custom injection molding process.  If the inserts are chosen to be inserted during the plastic injection molding process, an Insert Moulding process operator or a robotic arm will load them.  If chosen to insert the metal inserts after the plastic injection molding operation, the same robotic arm or Insert Molding process operator will load them after the plastic injection molding process is complete. Usually, Insert Molding takes place after the custom mold manufacturer China process. This procedure ideally reduces insertion costs, which can save our customers substantial costs on custom insert molding projects. If you want to know more knowledge about insert moulding, please go to what is insert molding page to take a look.

insert molding

Regarding the Insert Molding process, there can be some very nice advantages when a robotic arm is handling parts.  When it comes to removing the molded parts and getting them ready for more processes, a multiple-axis robot can do that faster and more accurate than a human.  After the molded part is created and removed from the mold, the robot grips the part and moves it to either a location to be held or onto a system to be inspected.  The manufacturing equipment’s general layout and the kind of product being created are the determining factors in making this choice.

In order to assure a high level of quality for many parts that go through Insert Molding, robots can have vision systems mounted on them.  These vision systems inspect parts faster than a human, as well as know exactly what the metal component’s placement accuracy is.

Several industries thrive upon the products created through the Insert Molding process.  Actually, there are so many products created through this type of custom injection molding process, to buy inset molding from Injection Mold China company, that will save super cost since the low labor cost in China.  Here is a list of the industries these products belong to, and there is a list of the products that are created through this type of custom injection molding:

How To Buy Plastic Injection Mold and Molding Parts From China

China has become a major destination for plastic mold & molding service. Lower prices are the primary incentives for many foreign buyers. Majority foreign buyers find challenges sourcing plastic injection molding from China. The major strains are on how to buy, how to evaluate quality, or how to identify a reliable source.

Many things go wrong in case of compromise in the purchase process. For example, delayed delivery, frauds, low quality, weakness of communication (both on language and technical), and other problems may be encountered. To avoid such frustrations, the following is a process of how a buyer would purchase plastic injection molding from China. Hope this could help you find your best suitable supplier

1. Identify a Reliable Plastic Molding Manufacturer

Currently, there are many mold manufacturers China company. You need to determine which supplier is reliable. Some of the factors to consider include, mold price, quality, quantity, accessory standard, communication, lead times, and the mold design, among other factors.
Using the World Wide Web, you can easily find a wide range of plastic molding suppliers from the internet, sourcing agents, and trade shows, etc.

It is important to contact several suppliers before making a decision on a suitable supplier.

2. Evaluate the Various Mold/Molding Manufacturers

Conducting market research on the various plastic molding manufacturers helps to find a suitable fit for the business. So how can one evaluate the Chinese mold makers to identify a reliable source?
Sending inquiries helps the evaluation process. You should focus on asking questions that evaluate the core competence of the plastic molding companies.
A good supplier is one that shows interest in your projects, has effective communication, knowledgeable, detail-minded, and honest. The evaluation should target to identify the salient attributes of the supplier, for example, what is advantages do they have, is it suitable for your project? Have they done any similar projects like yours? All of the information will help to make your project smoothly or not.

3. Information Verification

Not all manufacturers are who they say they are. The customer should be able to verify the plastic molding manufacturer. Some of the information that can be verified include:

• Type of mold parting line
• The type of ejection modes, whether pins are used and the particular locations,
• Surface requirement on the visible surface
• The location and type of gates

Such information helps to verify the mold designs and product appearance. the most important thing is basing on this discussing to each other you will know their communication and technology ability. A supplier that verifies the information and offers samples is reliable.

4. Analysis of Production Issues that may Arise

A good plastic molding supplier should communicate the issues in advance and concerns that may arise in the production process, and actions are taken to address the issue. A good Injection Mold China company should analyze the current design and offer rational recommendations, we call this DFM report.
Some of the important questions that help identify some of the issues include;

• Have you produced similar molds/products before?
• What were the challenges encountered?
• Can you send your quality control inspection report?
• How do you address the issues that arise?
• Do you offer compensation for compromises?

With all the information, you should already have identified which Chinese molding company to source from.

5. Firm/ Supplier Site Visit 

Depending on the quantity of supply sourced, visiting the supplier may be important. For large quantities of plastic molding service, traveling to China should be a basic step. The objective is to analyze samples and evaluate the reliability of the supplier.

Go to their plastic molding company on site to communicate with them face to face, then you will know how the technical skill, English ability, etc.  But mostly not always have time to check their mold factory, so we suggest you may ask for a skype video shows if you have no time to visit them.

At SINCERE TECH will take Skype video meeting to show you around our plastic mold and molding factory if you have no time to visit our factory, our sales and project manager speak good English and have the professional technical skill, you will know this during the video shows. if you are interested in our service, you are welcome to contact us.

6. Maker A Contract

Importing products from China and Asian nations can be risky and complicated. Contracts are antidotes against the common mistakes and issues that may arise. It is essential for buyers to get into a contract for the following reasons;

• To maintain clarity on product specification and avoid misunderstandings. The specifications of the product can be easily lost in Skype or mail communication.
• Compensation terms help suppliers to think twice about compromise.
• Contracts help to communicate on how severe your business is
• It helps to avoid delays

The first time you work with a China plastic injection molding company (same to work with your local supplier), you should always make agreements on contracts to avoid scams and fraud. Suppliers who default the negotiations should be responsible for making refunds and necessary compensations.

7.Payment and Delivery

Based on the set agreement, the amount can be paid by one time or two times ( maybe more times). The payment method depends on the agreed strategy. Some companies make payments via Paypal, Skrill, Payoneer, Western Union, Cheque, or other policies. Our standard payment term is T/T wire transfer. If the small amount. PayPal is still available,  this is method is normally working for all of the companies in China, especially for custom plastic molding manufacturing service.

Concluding Thoughts 

Buying plastic molding from China can be challenging. However, if you follow the seven steps, the process is easy and with no compromise. when you find your reliable partner from China, then your business will be increased rapidly, this is verified by lots of companies like Apple, and other car companies (over 80% of car companies buy their auto car molds from China), etc.

Doing online businesses have fraudulent operations. You should be cautious on the approach of doing business online to avoid frustrations, lots of company doing online business with China and successful to the business, also some of the customers had issues when doing business with Chinese manufacturers, or even have issues with your local supplier as well, do you agree?  The above steps could help you avoid this issue and the success of your business.

Advantages of Plastic Injection Molding in China

Our business office is in Guangdong, so we're anything but difficult to work with, yet our mold manufacturers China, where a lower cost structure enables us to give lower valuing to our clients. Notwithstanding lower valuing for plastic injection molding, there are different points of interest in creating the injection molds and plastic parts for you in China.  

• Quality: There's an impression of China being a low-quality, high-amount provider. During the 1950s, Japan had a notoriety for mass-delivered, modest, however mediocre, items. After thirty years, they wound up known for quality, conveyance and proficiency. China is experiencing that equivalent progress, with organizations like ICOMold driving the route in conveying brilliant items. 

• Management Practices: China is a financial powerhouse, and both the Harvard Business Review and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Sloan Management Review distributed articles commending the advanced administration rehearses in China. "Chinese organizations show us the board's present objectives: responsiveness, act of spontaneity, adaptability and speed," spouts a HBR article. "Chinese organizations… are higher in vitality and considerably more agile than most Western partnerships are." 

• Expertise: The representatives at our entirely possessed and-worked Shenzhen, China plant are specialists in plastic mold injection molding. Designing, as an order, is organized somewhat better in China. Understudies don't simply progress toward becoming "engineers" – they are prepared in all respects explicitly in plastic injection molding. Shenzhen, where our plant is found, is a focal point for Injection Mold China– our area is at the core of the business. 

• Work Ethic: Our representatives in China are eager to work adaptable hours, and they joyfully acknowledge additional time. Having this adaptability enables us to finish extends all around rapidly and contend on speed with U.S. plants. Indeed, even with delivery time considered in, our turnaround time is quicker than that of our rivals.
