Dip Molding Information and Resources
Benefits of Dip Molding Definition of Dip Molding Dip molding is the process of submerging a hot metal mold into a vat of plastisol to produce a finished plastisol product. Many individuals may be more familiar with plastisol than they think as it is the composition of handles on many different types of tools as well as a number of other widely used items. The Dip Molding Process To start the process, a hot metal mold is placed in cool plastisol. Once the metal mold is submerged in the plastisol, the plastisol will form around the mold upon contact. The reason that the cool plastisol forms around the metal mold is due to the high temperature of the mold. The mold is then removed from the vat of plastisol and baked in order to solidify the plastisol on the mold. The last step in the dip molding process is to cool the plastisol coated mold. Once this is complete, the plastic portion is removed from the metal mold and shipped out for distribution. Dip molding is a very widely used process which provides many products which are sold on the secondary market and prove to be quite useful items for consumers these days.
