Overmolding

This is a process that wraps one material over the surface of another. It is commonly used to increase surface wear resistance, anti-slip properties, decorative features, etc. It can be applied to various materials such as metal, plastic, ceramic, etc., achieved through methods such as spraying, electroplating, and hot melting. 

Overmolding Application

Overmolding: Widely used in construction, automotive, electronics, furniture, and other fields. In automotive manufacturing, overmolding can enhance vehicle safety and durability; in the construction industry, overmolding can be used for exterior wall coatings, floor installations, etc., improving the waterproof, anti-slip, and decorative properties of buildings.

2K Injection Molding

This process involves injecting two different colored plastic materials or materials with different properties into the same mold cavity through special injection mechanisms, achieving a one-time molding to obtain a product with characteristics of two colors or materials. This technology can create a vivid color contrast or achieve a perfect combination of soft and hard materials, enhancing the visual appeal and user experience of the product.

2K Injection Molding Application

Applied in electronics, home appliances, automotive accessories, toys, and other fields. For example, the two-color design of smartphone casings is not only aesthetically pleasing but also effectively distinguishes different brands or models; the two-color injection molding of automotive interior components can enhance the luxury and comfort of the cockpit.

  Temperature and Pressure Control Technology: Precisely control the temperature and pressure of the mold and molten material to ensure thorough mixing and molding of the two materials in the mold.
The Process of Overmolding and 2K molding 
The Process of Overmolding:
1
Preparation Stage
Firstly, the hard substrate (such as metal, plastic, ceramic, etc.) is placed in the mold. This substrate can be a pre-molded part or other types of hard materials.
2
Injection Stage
The soft material (such as thermoplastic elastomer TPE, soft plastic, etc.) is injected into the mold through an injection molding machine. The soft material flows and covers the surface of the hard substrate, forming a tightly bonded layer.
3
Curing Stage
The soft material cures in the mold, forming a tightly bonded overmolding layer with the hard substrate. The curing process typically requires specific temperature and pressure conditions.
4
Cooling Stage
After curing, the product in the mold needs to be cooled to stabilize its shape and size. The cooling process can be controlled through the mold’s cooling system.
5
Demolding Stage
Once the product has cooled, it is carefully removed from the mold to avoid damaging the overmolding layer and the hard substrate.
6
Post-Processing Stage
Depending on the requirements, the product can undergo further processing such as surface polishing, cutting, assembly, etc.
The Process of 2K molding:
1
Mold Preparation
Firstly, the mold is prepared to ensure that the cavity and channels are clean and free of impurities.
2
Material Preparation
Two different plastic materials or materials with different properties are separately loaded into two or more barrels of the injection molding machine.
3
Injection Stage
First, the first plastic material is injected into the mold cavity by the injection molding machine. When the first material begins to cure, the injection molding machine is started again to inject the second material into the mold cavity. The two materials mix or form independently in the mold.
4
Curing Stage
The two materials cure in the mold, forming a product with two colors or material characteristics. The curing process requires specific temperature and pressure conditions.
5
Cooling Stage
After curing, the product needs to be cooled to stabilize its shape and size. The cooling process can be controlled through the mold's cooling system.
6
Demolding Stage
Once the product has cooled, it is carefully removed from the mold to avoid damage.
7
Post-Processing Stage
Depending on the requirements, additional processes can be performed on the product, such as surface polishing, cutting, assembly, etc.
