Two-Component Technology (2K)

2K Injection Moulding for Functional Plastic Parts


2K technology combines two plastic materials in a single injection moulding process. Hard and soft materials are often combined, but different colours, material properties or functional areas can also be integrated into a single plastic component.

The process is particularly suitable for components that combine several functions, such as sealing, gripping, protecting, guiding or connecting. This can reduce the number of separate parts and assembly steps and allow for more compact component designs.

Silac uses 2K technology for closures, sealing solutions, technical plastic parts and components with demanding functional requirements.



2K Production with In-House Tool Making


In 2K projects, the coordination of materials, design, tool making and production is crucial from an early stage. Silac therefore supports projects from the development phase onwards.

In-house tool making is a key advantage. Adjustments can be coordinated directly, while communication between design, tool making and production remains short and efficient.

How this benefits your project:


Combination of different plastics in a single component

Hard-soft combinations for seals, handles or functional areas

Fewer separate parts and assembly steps

In-house tool making for precise 2K moulds

Close coordination between development, tool making and production

Finishing, assembly, printing and packaging in-house


What 2K Technology Makes Possible


Multiple functions in a single plastic component

Permanent bonding of different materials

Combination of hard and soft areas

Integrated seals or non-slip surfaces

Cost-efficient series production at suitable volumes

Greater design freedom in terms of function, colour and haptics

Electronic Component


This two-component electronic part demonstrates how different material properties can be combined in a technical plastic component. Function, protection and component geometry can therefore be coordinated within a single part.
