FEATURES

• Double Shot Injection Molding for Car Start Switch
  

  Two-color injection molding process:

  The two-color injection molding process uses two different colors of plastic materials during the injection molding process. The two colors of plastic are alternately injected into the mold through an injection molding machine, thereby forming a two-color effect.

  The main steps of the two-color injection molding process include:

  Prepare plastic pellets: Prepare plastic pellets of two different colors separately.

  Design mold: According to the design requirements of the product, design a mold suitable for two-color injection molding, including two injection molding chambers and a turntable or rotating mechanism.

  Injection molding: Put two plastic particles of different colors into two hoppers of the injection molding machine, and then the plastic is melted by the injection molding machine and injected into the mold. During the injection molding process, the injection molding machine injects two colors of plastic alternately to create a two-color effect.

  Cooling and solidification: After the plastic injection is complete, the mold will continue to cool and solidify for a period of time.

  Take out the product: Finally, open the mold and take out the formed two-color car start button.
