Dip moulding is a great manufacturing process for the production of inexpensive, tough and durable PVC parts. Components may be manufactured in a variety of shapes, sizes and colours and are utilised in many industries in a role which is protective, improving or as a solution in itself.

The dip moulding procedure involves a former being dipped into PVC plastisol and allowed to dwell. After the former has a sufficient coating of PVC it’s taken out and put into an oven to cure. Once the plastic has been cured and it has been permitted to cool off it’s removed from the former by hand, tool or compressed air leaving behind the desired component.

Dip moulding is a fairly simple and uncomplicated moulding procedure that is economical and has a range of applications in many industrial sectors. The advantages of dip moulding come from the low period of time and money it costs to create a prototype, tool and go into production. The simple tooling process and ease of manufacture are best for components which are to begin with low quantity requirements and don’t justify a substantial outlay in tooling. Another benefit of dip moulding is that the parts it makes have a superior gloss finish with no joins of flash.

In the united kingdom there are a large number of firms that are specialists in injection moulding as well as dip moulding techniques. They can design and produce an incredible range of PVC parts with an almost infinite number of uses. The insulation qualities of PVC make it ideal for a number of applications which includes rubber bellows, medical plastics,protection caps, switch as well as plug boots as well as busbar electrical insulation.
