Even
though Dip Moulding process is proven & well
used concept in West and other parts of the World,
this Technology concept is not well spread in
India as in other technologies. Recognizing this
reality and to help in promoting versatile &
easy adoptable Moulding concept in India, Preetham
Dip Moulding works was established with higher
investment, in comparison to the returns as a
organized set up.
Die
making is the heart for Dip Moulding, for development
of various Tailor-made and purpose oriented components
for various customer needs.
Preetham
Dip Moulding and its sister concerns can now claim
that no other entrepreneur invested and made efforts
for development of this concept. Broadly the items
that can be produced in this process are Insulation
Sleeves, Battery Caps, Connector Covers &
decorative/fancy items (for Automobile, Electrical
& Electronic Wiring Harness applications)
dust protection Caps & Covers and Bellows
for industrial / engineering applications.
In
short, in dip moulding process products can be
viable alternative to almost all items that are
conventionally manufactured so far in rubber &
injection moulding.
Originally
used in the art of candle making, dip molding
has grown into a high-tech manufacturing method
that competes head to head with other plastic
and rubber molding processes. In its basic form,
dip molding involves the heating of a metal mold
with the internal dimensions of the desired part.
These heated molds are then immersed or "dipped"
in a tank of liquid plastisol (PVC). The heat
from the mold attracts the cool plastisol and
the part is formed. The molds are extracted from
the liquid and heat cured. After the parts are
cured, they are cooled, stripped from the molds,
and packed for shipment or secondary operation.
Benefits
of Custom Dip Molding :
Low tooling costs...typically a fraction of injection
molding ·
Quick
and inexpensive prototypes ·
Short
lead-times on custom tooling...weeks versus months
·
Innovative
materials and textures ·
More
vibrant colors can be achieved with vinyl ·
No internal stress molded into parts ·
Large
parts can be made without significant tooling
investment.
Multi-Dipping capabilities allow us to design
products with two colors or materials on one part
- typically used for making products with durable
inside liners and more consumer friendly exteriors.
