Custom PVC molding is a specialized process that transforms polyvinyl chloride (PVC) into components and products tailored to meet specific customer requirements. At Metro Custom Plastics, we leverage this technology to serve industries that demand precision, durability, and cost-effectiveness in their applications.

Understanding PVC and Its Benefits

PVC is one of the most versatile thermoplastics, known for its durability, flexibility, and resistance to impact, chemicals, and UV light. It can be formulated as rigid or flexible, depending on the application, making it a go-to material for a wide range of industries. Its inherent properties provide several advantages:

• Customization: PVC can be shaped, colored, and engineered to meet precise design and mechanical specifications.
• Cost-Efficiency: As a material, PVC is economical without sacrificing quality.
• Durability: Long-lasting and capable of withstanding demanding environments.
• Eco-Friendly Options: Many PVC formulations are recyclable, reducing environmental impact.

The Custom PVC Molding Process

At Metro Custom Plastics, we utilize advanced PVC molding techniques to create high-quality components. Depending on the project’s needs, we employ one of the following methods:

Injection Molding:

• PVC is heated and injected into precision-engineered molds.
• Ideal for creating complex shapes with fine details and high production volumes.
• Common applications include pipe fittings, automotive components, and packaging parts.

Extrusion:

• PVC is melted and forced through a die to produce continuous shapes like pipes, profiles, and tubing.
• Perfect for uniform and repetitive designs.

Blow Molding:

• Heated PVC is expanded into a mold using air pressure, forming hollow items such as bottles and tanks.
• Frequently used in packaging and industrial storage solutions.

Compression Molding:

• Heated PVC is pressed into a mold using high pressure, suitable for larger and simpler components.
• Commonly used in structural applications.

Thermoforming:

• PVC sheets are heated and shaped over a mold, ideal for lightweight structural parts and packaging solutions.
