What are low pressure molding materials?

Low pressure molding materials are polyamide- and polyolefin-based hot melts used to overmold electronic devices, creating a self-contained housing. Once encapsulated, parts can be handled immediately. Low pressure molding has unlimited design possibilities for numerous applications, including LEDs, connectors, cables and wires, sensors, and other electronic devices.

Why use low pressure molding materials?

Low pressure molding enables short processing times and ties into LEAN manufacturing concepts. The overmolded parts are waterproof, resistant to vibration and impact, and protected from corrosion and many chemicals. Low waste, environmental friendliness, and cost-effectiveness are also why low pressure molding is widely used.
