Dip moulding is an excellent technique for the cost effective manufacture of long lasting and tough PVC parts. Components can be manufactured in an array of shapes, sizes and also colours and are utilized in several industries in a role which is protective, improving or as a product by itself. The dip moulding process consists of a former being dipped into PVC plastisol and permitted to stay. After the former has a sufficient coating of PVC it is taken out and place directly into an oven to cure. When the plastic has been cured and it has been permitted to cool down it is removed from the former by hand, tool or compressed air leaving the desired component. Dip moulding is considered the most cost-effective way of producing a range of components for a large number of industrial sectors. The advantages of dip moulding arrive from the low length of time and money it costs to produce a prototype, tool and go into production. The simple tooling process and simplicity of manufacture are best for parts that are to start with low volume requirements and don’t warrant a significant expenditure in tooling. Another advantage of dip moulding is that the components it makes have a high gloss finish without any joins of flash. There are a number of companies in the uk that are specialists in dip moulding and also injection moulding techniques. They are able to design and make an incredible range of PVC components that have an almost limitless number of uses. The insulation properties of PVC make it ideal for a number of uses including rubber bellows, medical plastics,protection caps, switch and plug boots as well as busbar electrical insulation.
