How do we do it? Specialized!

Dip moulding is a method to produce a durable, solid end product at low costs that has to meet high standards. The used material vinyl is very suitable for the production of complex shapes, large and small, in all kinds of colours.

From an esthetical point of view, dip moulded products can offer added value to products for the industry and consumers. Small amounts till several thousands of products can be produced without any problem.

Dip moulding process step by step.

1. The mould

To make a special dip moulded part, we first have to make a mould that will form the inside of the product. In the prototype stage the first tests will be done and, if needed, adjustments can be made. If the quality of the prototype is good, a number of production moulds will be made, depending on the size of the series. These aluminium moulds will be turned, shaped or made from an aluminium casting.

2. Heating the mould in the oven

The mould will be preheated in an oven.

3. The heated mould will be dipped in liquid plastisol

The mould is attached to a special frame and is dipped in a bath of liquid plastisol. Depending on the heath of the mould and the dipping time you will get a certain wall thickness.

4. Curing of the dipped mould in the oven

To make a special dip moulded part, we first have to make a mould that will form the inside of the product. In the prototype stage the first tests will be done and, if needed, adjustments can be made. If the quality of the prototype is good, a number of production moulds will be made, depending on the size of the series. These aluminium moulds will be turned, shaped or made from an aluminium casting.

5. Cooling of the dipped mould in water

The mould is dipped in water for a while so the applied layer can cool down and cure.

6. The product will be stripped from the mould

The end product will be removed from the mould with compressed air.

7. Complete end product

If needed, the product can be cut, punched or printed.
