Overmoulding is a manufacturing process where a secondary material, typically a polymer, is moulded directly over a base component, such as a metal insert. The result is a single, integrated part that eliminates the need for secondary assembly, adhesives, or fasteners, while enhancing functionality and reliability.
At Fluorocarbon, we specialise in the overmoulding of high-performance plastics and metals, delivering precision-engineered components that unite the mechanical strength of metal with the chemical, thermal, and wear resistance of advanced polymers.
Our expertise allows us to overmould metals with polymers or plastics with other plastics, creating hybrid components that perform reliably in the most demanding applications, from aerospace and semiconductor systems to oil & gas, hydrogen energy, and advanced industrial sectors.
We offer a One-Stop Shop for metallic and fluoropolymer machining, fabrication, assemblies, and kitting.
With a focus on identifying challenges and providing solutions, we can assist with getting prototypes to market whilst reducing cost challenges.
