Dip moulding is an excellent method for the low-cost manufacture of long lasting and tough PVC parts. Parts may be produced in a variety of different shapes and forms as well as a superb range of colours. The parts are utilized in a large number of industries especially the electrical industry where the insulating properties of PVC are essential.

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

Dip moulding is considered the most economical technique of producing a range of parts for a multitude of industrial sectors. Dip moulding has a number of advantages over other moulding methods. The major one of these is the short amount of time it will take to produce a prototype, tool and then go to production. The straightforward tooling procedure and ease of manufacture are best for components that are to start with low quantity requirements and don’t warrant a significant expenditure in tooling. Another advantage of dip moulding is that the components it makes have a superior gloss finish with no seams of flash.

There are a number of businesses in the united kingdom which are experts in dip moulding as well as injection moulding techniques. They can design and manufacture an incredible range of PVC parts with an almost unlimited number of uses. The insulation qualities of PVC make it well suited for a number of uses including cable gland shrouds, electrical insulation, fuse, switch as well as socket boots and busbar insulating material.
