Dip molding process involves sets of identical molds pre-heated then simultaneously lowered or "dipped" into a pool of liquid plastisol PVC vinyl material. The molds are held in the liquid material at the desired depth for a specific period of time to ensure the correct amount of material clings to the mold. The molds are then lifted out of the liquid material and transported through an oven where the liquid plastic material is baked/cured into the desired part. The parts and molds are then cooled to a temperature which allows the parts to be stripped from the molds at the end of the process.

MOCAP flexible vinyl plastic caps, plugs, grips and high temperature vinyl masking products are molded using proprietary vinyl dip molding processes developed by MOCAP to produce the most cost-effective, high quality flexible vinyl products available. The vinyl dip molding process allows you to specify length, wall thickness, color, surface texture and hardness with no additional tooling charges.

MOCAP's Vinyl Dip Molding capabilities are second-to-none. We stock a wide range of vinyl PVC materials most commonly used to make the flexible vinyl caps, plugs, grips and masking products you require. Should your product or project require a dip molded part in a special color, hardness or texture, we can deliver. Size is rarely a concern as we can produce dip molded parts from 0.030" diameter to as large as 18" diameter, and from 0.062" inside length to over 22" long.

Of course every process has its limitations so please contact MOCAP Sales to discuss your specific custom project.
