THE CHALLENGE
Facing strong competition from all-plastic garden sprayers,
a leading garden equipment manufacturer decided to
create a new, high-end line of sprayers featuring enhanced
quality, durability and aesthetics.
The use of 2K
(two-component) molding—in which the base resin is injected
and allowed to set up for a short time, and then is overmolded
by injecting the TPE—streamlines the manufacturing process.
It required a high temperature
and a strong injection pressure to bond to the acrylonitrile-
butadienestyrene (ABS) substrate, which caused the resin
to deform.
