Low Pressure Molding is a manufacturing process for encapsulating and protecting electronics against moisture, vibrations, and external influences, among other things.
The electronics effectively become a homogeneous unit with the molded enclosure. By using low pressure during injection, sensitive parts such as circuit boards, sensors, and other small components can be protected as they are not exposed to extreme pressure or high temperatures. The result is a very gentle, robust enclosure for the electronics.
There are many advantages, one of the biggest advantages of Low Pressure Molding is that you get a finished product enclosure that is not only robust and waterproof, it is also customized to your specifications and does not take up any unwanted space, and also becomes a homogeneous unit with the electronics.
The process uses pressures between 1.5 and 40 bar, which is significantly lower than traditional injection molding, where pressures can be up to 1300 bar. This makes it possible to use cheaper materials such as aluminum instead of more expensive steel tools, which reduces the cost of the tool/mold itself.
LPM also enables faster production cycles, reducing lead times and increasing efficiency. By using materials such as polyamides and polyolefins, which have excellent electrical insulation, vibration resistance, and thermal stability properties, electronic components are effectively protected against moisture, chemicals, and high temperatures.
LPM is often used in the manufacture of electronic components that require extra protection. Examples include the encapsulation of circuit boards, connectors, sensors, and batteries. The technology is also very popular in the medical technology and lighting industries, where it offers reliable protection against both physical and environmental stresses.
The advantages of LPM are particularly noticeable when it comes to protecting sensitive components against moisture, chemicals, and mechanical stress. The technology also allows for a high degree of design flexibility, so that both function and aesthetics can be optimized while reducing the need for extra parts or packaging.
