Dip Moulding

Dip Moulding is essentially a technique for the economical production of flexible and semi rigid PVC components. It is particularly suitable for medium and small quantities often used for mass production. A related but somewhat different technique is used for the production of chloroprene (Neoprene). The process needs only simple aluminium tooling, shaped by machining or casting, to the internal dimensions of the required moulding. It is because such tooling is inexpensive by comparison, for instance with injection moulding that small and medium quantity can be allowing considerable design freedom. The natural finish of the mouldings is smooth glossy texture or matt and shows no tool split lines.
