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.

Four major developments of two-component injection molding technology and key points of future technology research

Two-color injection molding refers to a molding process in which two different materials are injected into same set of molds, so as to realize injection molded parts made of two materials. A complete two-color or even multi-color injection molding program requires integration of injection molding machines, molds, turntables, automation, and auxiliary equipment. Complex structure and non-standard customization of two-color multi-color injection molding machine are much higher than that of single-color injection molding machine.
