LSR 2-Shot molding or multi-component injection molding is sometimes described as over-molding, assembly injection molding, or twin shot. Generally speaking, this procedure entails applying LSR straight on the polycarbonate substratum instantly after the polycarbonate substratum is formed, in the same mold, and with the same shot molding maker. This process allows multiple functions, components, and products to be integrated into a solitary part, completely integrated.
2K LSR molding is particularly important for any application that requires a sealed connector. Without 2K LSR molding, creating a similar shell requires additional tooling and assembly processes, which increases costs and creates the possibility of assembly errors. These similar shells also need mechanical latches to protect the traditional seals, thus increasing the overall package size, and the market demands smaller package sizes.
By creating a higher level of sealing, 2K LSR molding allows electrification to be extended into previously difficult or impossible applications or environments, such as commercial vehicles, ships, automobiles, and industrial electrical.
The 2-Shot molding process has many advantages in manufacturing various components:
2-Shot molded parts have greater integrity. In addition, the 2-Shot injection molding process allows for a stronger, tighter seal with no additional gaskets or other components.
