Abstract
Injection moulding is a commonly operated melt process, more extensively applied to thermoplastics other than PVC than to PVC itself, chiefly because of two inherent features especially appertaining to the unplasticised PVC compounds. These features are thermal instability and high melt viscosity, both of which create situations which those responsible for the process must anticipate and control carefully. There is little doubt that as moulding technology improves and as the position with regard to VCM becomes less hazardous the injection moulding of PVC will extend.
