Arnitel® two component molding (2K molding)

Arnitel can be over-molded on other plastics to give a soft-touch feel combined with good mechanical properties, and for enhancing grip to improve torsion transport. Overmolding with Arnitel is also used for sound dampening applications such as in door latches. Overmolding can be easily achieved by injection molding on molded components which are designed with ribs, grooves, etc which act as under-cuts that the overmolding can hold on to.

Arnitel has excellent molecular adhesion to polar polymers such as polycarbonate, polyvinyl chloride, styrenics such as ABS, etc. The high chemical bonding creates excellent adhesion between the Arnitel and the polar polymer surfaces. For crystalline polymers, adhesion of Arnitel on the component is achieved by increasing the inlay temperature of the component over which the overmolding is to be done.

2 K molding is also used to enhance the appeal of applications. Both pre-coloring and masterbatches can be used for coloring Arnitel molded components. When using masterbatch, excellent part appearance is achieved with Arnitel-based or universal masterbatches.
