Summary
Commercial plastic materials are organically based and are therefore heat-sensitive. Accurate temperature control of melt processes such as injection moulding is therefore necessary if problems caused by thermal degradation are to be avoided.
The injection moulding process is considered from a temperature control viewpoint and some of the control methods or techniques are described, since it should not be forgotten that good temperature control can lead to materials and energy savings.
