2K Two-Shot Injection Mold Dual-Color Molding for Automotive & Power Tools

Two-shot injection molding (2K molding) combines two different materials in a single molding operation — delivering components with both structural strength and functional or aesthetic surfaces. This process is widely used in automotive interiors and power tools for components requiring both rigid backing and soft-touch or dual-color surfaces.
Jinlong Electric has produced 2K molds for automotive components and power tool applications. As documented in our production experience, two-shot molds are commonly used for components such as dual-color electric tool housings and automotive functional parts requiring soft-touch surfaces combined with rigid structural bases.
This case showcases Jinlong's capabilities in designing and manufacturing 2K two-shot injection molds — with dedicated dual-shot injection equipment and experienced engineering team for process development.
