MANUFACTURE OF “LIQUID POLY VINYL CHLORIDE ”[LPVC] ITEMS IN DIP MOULDING PROCESS

 

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.
