For years on Halloween, kids used to haul their treats around in pillow sacks, plastic bags or metal buckets. But back in the 1950s, plastic injection molders came up with a better solution – the orange celebratory pumpkin pails. These colorful candy containers were lightweight, smooth-edged, inexpensively produced and virtually indestructible. This utility icon soon became one of the season’s most recognizable symbols. Learn about the manufacturing process for these and other related items.

Standardized maintenance routines are the best way to keep machines going and minimize downtime. Cleaning cavities, regreasing slides, inspecting parting lines and spraying rust preventives are essential daily steps in a fast-paced environment. However, treating every mold with the same methodology – regardless of the polymer – could be a recipe for a costly mess. When mold issues occur, the first reaction is to treat the symptom, but experienced molders know that addressing how resin interacts with tooling is far more likely to produce a better outcome – not all resins are created equal.

Stop guessing if your molds are 100% protected.

Unprotected spots lead to corrosion, downtime and expensive mold maintenance. With Slide’s Quick RP featuring Red Indicator Dye, you can visually verify complete coverage every single time.

Here’s why injection molders and toolmakers rely on it:

👁️ Red Tracing Dye: Gives immediate visual confirmation of total surface coverage, no missed spots.
⏳ 2-Year Indoor Protection: Guards against moisture, condensation and oxidation for up to 24 months.
⚡ Zero Pre-Production Cleanup: The unique "dry" formula flashes off automatically at startup without bleeding or marking parts.
🛡️ Acid Neutralizing: Removes damaging fingerprint acids on contact.

Slide Products was proud to sponsor a hole at last Friday’s industry golf event near Detroit, hosted by PCS Company!

Our very own Jeff Lewis was on the course, playing alongside Michael Parrish (Trimas), Marcus Duyck (GFM Corp), and Trevor Potter (Hi-Watt). Beyond a great day of networking and golf, the outing raised valuable funds for the Tunnel to Towers Foundation — an incredible organization supporting America’s first responders, military veterans, and their families.

Thank you to PCS Company for putting on a fantastic event for a cause that means so much to our industry and community! ⛳🇺🇸
