JoinCast provides in-house TPR insert moulding primarily for pneumatic tool handles and grips. We injection mould thermoplastic rubber directly onto die cast aluminum components, giving you improved slip resistance, ergonomic comfort, and enhanced product feel for end users. This capability is fully integrated within our production workflow.

Our in-house printing line applies custom logos and branding to aluminum components using single-color screen printing. You can specify your branding requirements, and we complete printing on-site before final inspection and shipment so there is no need to coordinate with separate finishing vendors.

We can offer custom finishes with different shore hardness to suit your particular applications and durability requirements. Our in-house expertise in TPR insert mold making allows us to handle complex shapes and ensure perfect molding results for your brand.

What TPR hardness options are available for tool grips and handles?

We offer TPR durometers ranging from Shore A 40 (soft, cushioned feel) to Shore A 70 (firmer, more durable) depending on your application requirements.

Pneumatic tool handles typically use Shore A 50-60 for optimal grip comfort during extended use, while other applications may require firmer TPR for mechanical durability. We can provide samples at different hardnesses for your evaluation.

How do you ensure the TPR bonds properly to the aluminum casting?

Aluminum surfaces undergo specific preparation including degreasing and primer application before TPR injection molding. The combination of mechanical interlocking (achieved through designed undercuts in the casting) and chemical adhesion creates permanent bonds that withstand tool operation stresses.

We can perform pull-testing on first articles to validate bond strength for your application.

Can you mold TPR over powder-coated or anodized aluminum surfaces?

TPR adhesion works best on bare aluminum or specifically formulated primers.

How durable is pad printing on parts that will be handled frequently or exposed outdoors?

Pad printing on properly prepared aluminum surfaces withstands normal handling, but high-wear areas like grip surfaces or frequently touched controls will show wear over time.

Can you match specific Pantone colors for printed logos on my products?

Yes, we can match Pantone colors for pad printing, though final appearance varies slightly based on substrate color and surface texture. We recommend providing physical color samples or approved parts for matching rather than relying solely on Pantone numbers.

First article samples will be submitted for your approval before production printing begins.
