Injection molding

Injection molding is a manufacturing process for producing components by injecting molten material into a mold. Aquafil creates different kinds of nylon-based compoundings used in the injection molding industry like PA 6 and PA 6.6. We provide both standard nylon, coming from fossil material, and recycled nylon coming from waste material.
