Dip Moulding

Dip Moulding offers advantages like cost-effectiveness, rapid prototyping, and the ability to create intricate shapes. It is commonly used for producing items with varying levels of flexibility, durability, and chemical resistance. PVC is a widely used polymer that has both good electrical and insulation properties. PVC is known for its electrical insulating properties making it suitable for a various electrical and electronic applications. 

The process needs only simple aluminium tooling, shaped by machining or casting, to the internal dimensions of the required moulding. The tooling is inexpensive compared to injection moulding.  

For this reason, Dip Moulding is commonly uses to produce caps and plugs for various purposes, such as protecting the ends of pipes, tubes, or handles. 

The other markets that Dip Moulding is used for are Medical Products, Automotive components, coating of tools and Electrical insulation, Sporting goods, industrial equipment. 

Customized products, Dip Moulding can be used to produce custom shapes and sizes makes is suitable for creating unique and specialised products based on specific requirements. 

At Plastic Mouldings we have now revolutionise the way we produce Dip Moulding by the installation of Co-Bots is the factory in Scotland.  

Co-bots can provide high precision in the dipping process, ensuring consistency of thickness and quality. The Co-bots are designed to collaborate with human operators, and they come with safety features like force sensors and collision detection to prevent accidents.
