How to Specify Materials and Bond Strength for Double Shot Molding

VIP-User
2026-11-04

When specifying a double shot molded part, identify a compatible hard-and-soft material pair and define how the finished interface will be evaluated. ABS+TPU and PP+TPE are listed options. Because the available product information gives no numerical bond-strength value or test standard, set an acceptance criterion for the part and agree on a verification method before production.

What to Include in the Specification

  • Name both materials and show which areas of the part use each one.
  • Provide drawings or samples that define the interface, critical dimensions, and alignment requirements.
  • State the required bonding performance and the test procedure and acceptance threshold agreed for the application.
  • Plan mold trials, dimensional checks, and pre-shipment inspection to assess the mold and molded parts.

Material Compatibility and Bond Performance

Material selection is only one part of a reliable double shot specification. The listed combinations, ABS+TPU and PP+TPE, indicate available hard-and-soft material options, but compatibility alone does not establish a particular bond strength. The product information does not publish a measured strength, testing method, or pass/fail limit.

Define the required interface performance for the actual part rather than relying on a general material pairing. Specify where the materials meet, the conditions the part must withstand, and how the bond will be tested. Longterm's double shot mold offering supports two-color injection, hard-and-soft combinations, high-precision alignment, and optional multi-cavity configurations.

Verification and Project Evidence

Verification options listed for the mold include a trial run, dimensional testing, and inspection before shipment. These checks can help confirm mold operation, part dimensions, and alignment; the bond-strength requirement should still be assessed using the separately agreed test procedure.

A reported project for a French customer involved a double shot overmolding mold for a consumer electronics shell. The customer described good alignment and stable trial samples. This is a project report, not a quantified bond-strength result. Potential application areas also include household appliance components.
