Multi-component Technology

In a multi-component injection moulding process (or 2C-laminating injection moulding in the above mentioned example) several melts are injected sequencially into a mould during one injection process. The melts can either be injected onto one another or into one another. The resulting layers can either be indissolubley joined or can move against one another.

In a 2C-laminating injection moulding process two different melts are injected onto one another. One material with different colourings can be used or differing materials. This process is also known as 2-colour injection-moulding (2C-IM=2F-SG) or 2-material-injection-moulding. The basic process for both methods is identical. Essentially there are 5 different methods of injection moulding, whereby the relevant moulding techniques can be divided into rotating and non-rotating moulding systems.
