Gas-Assist Injection Molded Coolant Tube


This is the first plastic coolant tube of complex geometry produced for ‘07 MY Ford F250 pickup engine to withstand long life coolant and high engine temperatures.  It was only made possible by gas-assist injection molding of PPS resin.  The resulting part was only half the mass and 20% lower in cost than the conventional metal tubes it replaced.
