Multi-component injection molding - Import export

Silicon-Silicon, e.g. having differing Shore A hardness or colors. Both materials are combined with one another by chemical or mechanical methods. First, component 1 is injected (thermoplastic material, metal, glass, silicone) or placed in the mold. Next, the item is overmolded with silicone. This is the method of producing compound parts. Popular multi-component products are items such as steering wheel switches for cars, jet-formers for shower heads, door-bell key or the hydraulic brake systems for kitchen drawers, doors and flaps.

We manufacture highly complex interior components specifically for the automotive sector that are used directly in the field of vision of a vehicle and therefore have to meet particularly stringent quality and haptic requirements. One operation, no additional installation effort and maximum process reliability: Our innovative multi-component injection moulding not only opens up new possibilities in terms of design but also offers maximum production safety through the use of standardised processes at maximum efficiency. Our customers have already come to rely on our experience and expertise as a full-service partner in the development phase of their products. Sophisticated production solutions are our speciality.

2K or 'two-shot' injection moulding consists of processing two different polymers (or two different colours of one polymer) into an end product by means of one injection moulding process. This technology enables several functions to be integrated into an injection moulded product. One of the major advantages of 2K injection moulding compared to overmoulding is that the polymer to be injected is still hot and has not shrunk yet. This virtually excludes the risk of burrs being formed on the second component. Another significant advantage is the cycle time gained, the constant process and the fact that manual insertion is not required, thus avoiding the risk of damaging the first component.
