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.
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:

Silac manufactures closure systems with thermoplastic and two-component elements for SIGG. The solution combines functionality, design and durability for leisure and sports applications.

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.

Silac developed a hard-soft two-component solution for a concrete testing device. The system combines protection, functionality and ease of use in a single technical component.
The following examples show how Silac uses 2K technology for closures, technical components and functional plastic solutions:
