How to Use Plastisol for Dip Molding Applications
Originally used in the art of candle making, dip molding has grown into a high-tech manufacturing method that competes head to head with other plastic and rubber molding processes. In its basic form, dip molding involves:
![Heat](/cmss_files/imagelibrary/Icons/Extra-High-Temp-Icon.png)
1) The heating of a part or metal mold with the internal dimensions of the desired part

2) The heated part or molds are then immersed or "dipped" in a tank of liquid plastisol (PVC)

3) The heat from the mold attracts the cool plastisol and the part is formed

4) The molds are extracted from the liquid and heat cured

5) After the material is cured, cool the parts
