| Over-molding allows for the creation of composite finished products in a single phase, removing the need for successive gluing or mechanical fixing steps. This also reduces environmental impact as there are no VOC emissions from adhesives and, as the components are not made from a range of incompatible materials, they are more easily recycled at the end of their useful life. The over-molding process can be used in highly technical applications such as components for the automotive industry, shells and casings for power tools, parts for domestic appliances, and seals which can be molded directly onto the frame.Information provided by A.P.I.
