Two-Color Molding may also be referred to as: 2-Shot molding, Bi-injection molding, Co-injection Molding, or Multi-Shot Injection Molding
This technology produces a part with two different colors and/or materials in a single operation.
By using a rotating mold, the machine automatically produces a substrate of one resin or color
and overmolds the part with the second resin or color.
Focare Mould provides two-shot two-color molding for a variety of industries.
Typically, two-shot two-color molding is used for soft-touch over-molding grips in power tools, outdoor equipment, medical equipment,
electrical equipment, consumer products, and automotive components. This process reduces part costs by eliminating labor, improving
quality, and eliminating post-molding steps such as sonic welding, assembly, snap fits or fasteners. The cost advantages become
obvious, especially when applied to high volume parts.
Advantages over alternative methods:
- Insert molding and complex secondary operations are eliminated.
-
Painting (which can rub off) is eliminated. -
Strong substrates can be molded with soft-feel materials on the outside. - Two-color applications can enhance appearance.
-
Cores can be made of recycled material -
Moldings with high surface quality.
