Plastic Material: Shrinkage Rate

To ensure the mold is built to best fit your needs, material used for injection molding is one of the most important elements to create a perfect mold design, the mold cavity shape and dimension can be calculated by the size of finished products and material shrinkage rate. 

Below is a list of plastic material shrinkage rate by percent, the information are only for references use, the rates may differ due to humidity, temperature, brands of plastic material, or many other reasons, for exact shrinkage rate, please check material data sheet with your material supplier:
