Overmolding

Plastic-on-plastic "insert molding" (Overmolding) can be accomplished by combining different plastics to achieve desired results. For example, a softer durometer material may be overmolded onto a structural core material. This can be accomplished several ways.

Placing a previously molded article into a mold and then "overmolding" another material onto the base article can achieve unique results. The same results can also be accomplished through gas counter-pressure. By maintaining a cavity pressure, which resists the plastic pressure inside the mold, you can achieve the same result as above without a subsequent operation. This allows dual material molding with a standard machine.
