Over Molding

Over molding involves encapsulating a plastic component with another polymer that is molded at a lower temperature. This is followed wherever superior properties are required but at only specific areas. Given that this could only be fulfilled by using a more expensive polymer, cost could be cut down by over molding such a polymer on a plastic component molded out of less expensive material. Other applications are in components wherein an elastomer needs to be over molded for leak tightness. or even in decorative applications for good aesthetics.
