TWO-SHOT INJECTION MOLDING APPLICATIONS

Two-Shot injection molding is the ideal molding method for applications that require two or more materials, such as flexible seals with rigid bases, plastic grips and handles, and parts with structural reinforcements.

Two-Shot Injection Molding

Using two-shot injection molding, we can produce two-component or two-color plastic injection molded parts in one machining cycle, reducing overall cycle time and eliminating additional assembly costs. Two-shot is the ideal process for high-volume production of products with the following attributes:

  • Rigid and flexible components
  • Multiple colors and surface grades
  • Vibration and noise dampening characteristics
  • Sealing functionality

Insert/Over Molding

Using insert molding and over molding, we can mold plastic directly on to metal components and assemblies, eliminating the need for messy adhesives and fasteners. Insert/over molding is the ideal process for the high-volume production of products with the following features:

  • Plastic grips and handles
  • Metal fasteners
  • Magnets
  • Structural reinforcements

Automotive

  • Structural (SORB rocker, pillars)
  • Sealing (baffles, carriers)
  • Active grill shutter (seals, rods)
  • Interior (panels, trim)
  • Exterior (mud guards, spoilers)
  • Bellows and cuffs

Lawn & Garden

  • Grips and handles
  • Housings (motor, battery)
  • Guards (toe guards, stone flaps)
  • Covers (deck skids, wheels)
  • Vibration and noise dampening parts
  • Dual-durometer seals

Other

  • Consumer products
  • Power tool components
