Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What are the main benefits of using a 2K / Two-Shot injection mold?
2K injection molding allows for the combination of two different materials or colors in a single process. This enhances product aesthetics, integrates soft-touch surfaces (like TPE/TPU) with rigid substrates, improves sealing performance, and eliminates secondary assembly steps, thereby lowering production costs.
Which material combinations are commonly supported?
We support a wide range of material pairings, including ABS+TPE, PC+ABS, PP+TPU, PA66+TPE, and PC+PMMA. We evaluate the chemical and thermal compatibility of each material pair during our initial DFM review to ensure optimal adhesion.
What is the expected lifespan of Jinlong's 2K molds?
Our 2K molds are built with high-quality tool steels, such as S136 for cavities and 718H for cores, and are engineered to deliver a mold life of 500,000+ shots per material layer under proper maintenance.
Do you perform in-house trials for 2K molds?
Yes, Jinlong operates dedicated in-house 2K dual-shot injection machines ranging from 250T to 360T. This allows us to fully test the molds, optimize parameters such as valve gate timing and injection profiles, and provide complete trial documentation.
What quality standards do you follow?
We are ISO 9001:2016 and IATF 16949:2016 certified. Every mold undergoes full Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) inspection for both material layers, along with rigorous interface geometry and adhesion validation before shipment.
