Single-component injection moulding - Import export

When plastic is not only supposed to have a shape but also meet the requirements, then you’ve come to the right place. Years of experience, reliability and uncompromising quality are strengths that set us apart from our competitors.

Single component injection moldings Shaping silicone to mold perfect injection parts – This is starlim//sterner's area of expertise. The term single-component injection molding describes the processing of the elastomer substance silicone rubber. This material is processed into small and miniature parts for the auto industry , the life science industry and for the manufacturing industry . Silicone is an elastomer substance with attractive properties. We process exclusively addition and high-temperature curing silicones. Here you find more information on the types of silicone used by starlim//sterner. We can combine your silicone component with a different material, too.

2K or 'two-shot' injection moulding consists of processing two different polymers (or two different colours of one polymer) into an end product by means of one injection moulding process. This technology enables several functions to be integrated into an injection moulded product. One of the major advantages of 2K injection moulding compared to overmoulding is that the polymer to be injected is still hot and has not shrunk yet. This virtually excludes the risk of burrs being formed on the second component. Another significant advantage is the cycle time gained, the constant process and the fact that manual insertion is not required, thus avoiding the risk of damaging the first component.
