Injection molding technology: two-color injection molding application for automotive lights

Two-color injection molding is one of the more popular advanced injection molding methods currently, providing meaningful savings potential and new design possibilities for product manufacturing. This article mainly discusses development status and trends of two-color injection molding, with a special focus on application of automotive lights.

Introduction of multi-component injection molding process

Also called multi-color injection molding process, it refers to injection molding of two or more color materials or different materials through a mold with one or more runners. It was first represented by two-color injection molding, most of our daily contact with two-color products, such as toothbrush we use every morning and evening, handle is made of two-color injection molding, the more commonly used material for handle is PP (hard rubber) +TPE (soft rubber), TPE is the best material that blends with PP encapsulation, and soft encapsulation is to improve grip.
