Abstract: Plastic products are having high demand in this modern world, these plastics are processed by various methods depending upon the type of the plastic used. Here the Injection moulding is a process where molten plastic material is forced under pressure into a mould tool where it is solidified and ejected when the tool opens the two halves of the mould. This paper presents the Conceptual Design of Plastic Injection Mould Tool for Chair Hand Rest. The mould tool is of two cavity mould. The material used for the processing of the component is Polypropylene (PP). The technique is incorporated to produce a light weight with good quality component considering the ease of manufacturability, Tool design and development is a specialized and critical area. The tool design should match the machine specification and should be accurate and economical for successful life of a component or product assembly and Positive ejection of the component within the minimum possible time and cost.
