Vinyl End Protection Caps

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 the heating of a metal mold with the internal dimensions of the desired part. These heated molds are then immersed or "dipped" in a tank of liquid Vinyl / PVC.

The heat from the mold attracts the cool plastisol and the part is formed. The molds are extracted from the liquid and heat cured. After the parts are cured, they are cooled, stripped from the molds, and packed for shipment or secondary operation.

Revata Engineering manufactures a wide range of Vinyl Dip molded products.

Some of the products we manufacture include:
Vinyl End Protection Caps
Vinyl Plugs,
Protection Studs etc.

Low tooling costs...typically a fraction of injection molding

Quick and inexpensive prototypes

Short lead-times on custom tooling...weeks versus months

Innovative materials and textures

More vibrant colors can be achieved with vinyl

No internal stress molded into parts

Large parts can be made without significant tooling investment

Multi-Dipping capabilities allow us to design products with two colors or materials on one part - typically used for making products with durable inside liners and more consumer friendly exteriors
