We utilise the 2-shot moulding manufacturing method to produce engineered parts that perform a critical sealing function. The co-polymerisation of hard (or soft) plastics and thermoplastic elastomers (TPE’s) and allows us to design and manufacture complex, multiple material parts for our customers. Our 2-shot moulded products replace high volume metal or plastic- to- rubber component assemblies that are processed via chemical or mechanical bonding by using adhesives or over-moulding.
Materials
We use the following thermoplastic and plastic materials for our 2-shot moulding production process: Styrene Block Copolymers (TPE-S), Thermoplastic Polyurethane Block Copolymers (TPE-U) Copolyesters (TPE-E), Copolyamides (TPE-A), Olefinic Thermoplastic rubbers (TPE-O), Polyamide (PA/Nylon), Polybutylene Terephtalate (PBT), Polypropylene (PP).
The end result is a high integrity seal product with a powerful molecular bond, reduced production cycle times (as many additional processes are removed from the production line) and comprehensive cost reductions as all parts are produced in a single manufacturing tool.
