9. Why Nylon release clasp?
Nylon injection molding is used in a wide range of parts and components including:
Consumer products – footwear, clothing, toothbrush bristles, pantyhose, windbreakers, windpants, hair combs
Recreation - musical instrument strings, tennis racket strings, climbing rope, climbing slings, fishing line, basketball
netting, rope
Industrial – bearings, gears, flexible tubing, bushings, pulley components, washers
Medical – sutures
Automotive – gas tanks, intake manifolds, seat belts, tire cords, fuel system parts
Military applications – parachutes,
Electronics – electrical insulators, electronic components
Nylon thermoplastic products have many advantages:
Excellent machining characteristics
Resistant to abrasion
High impact resistance
Tough material
Extremely low coefficient of friction
Good ultraviolet (UV) resistance
Highly resistant to chemicals, mildew, molds, fungi, insects
Very durable
Melts instead of burns

10. release clasp injection moulded
Injection moulding?
Is a manufacturing process for producing parts from both thermoplastic and thermosetting plastic materials. Material is fed into a heated
barrel, mixed, and forced into a mold cavity where it cools and hardens to the configuration of the mold cavity. After a product is designed,
usually by an industrial designer or an engineer, molds are made by a moldmaker (or toolmaker) from metal, usually
either steel or aluminum, and precision-machined to form the features of the desired part. Injection molding is widely used for manufacturing
a variety of parts, from the smallest component to entire body panels of cars.
Typical materials used
Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene ABS
Nylon PA
Polycarbonate PC
Polypropylene PP
Polystyrene GPP

11. What is solid V4A stainless steel
Definition V4A stainless steel
The designation 316 stainless steel is not used in all countries -> Germany it is called 1.4571 or V4A

Stainless steel 316
The three most common stainless steel grades available in sheet metal are 304, 316, and 410.
-Grade 304 is the most common of the three grades. It offers good corrosion resistance while maintaining formability and weldability.
Available finishes are #2B, #3, and #4. Note that grade 303 is not available in sheet form.
-Grade 316 offers more corrosion resistance and strength at elevated temperatures than 304. It is commonly used for
pumps, valves, chemical equipment, and marine applications. Available finishes are #2B, #3, and #4.
-Grade 410 is a heat treatable stainless steel, but does not offer as good corrosion resistance. It is commonly used in cutlery. The only
available finish is dull.
