Water Assisted Injection Moulding (WAIM) is a new development in the field of Injection Moulding and said to be an alternative to Gas Assisted Injection Moulding (GAIM). Using this process, Tubular hollow parts and Rod shaped products can be manufactured cost effectively.
This idea of Injection of Fluids (Water or Oil) was proposed in 70’S but at that time, the use of water did not succeed satisfactorily, due to difficulty in achieving high flow rates and pressure.
Recently, IKV (Institution for Kunststoffverarbeitung), Germany in association with finders Anglagentechnik has developed a Proto type production line (Demonstration Plant ) and carried out water injection successfully
