Dip Moulding
Dip moulding is a versatile process where heated mandrels are dipped into liquid plastisol, creating a coating that is then cured and stripped from the metal formers. Our UK-based fleet includes a range of machinery, from small single-dip batching rigs ideal for low-volume work and rapid prototyping, to high-volume machines with long-dip capabilities.
