OverTEC – Techsil’s New Low Pressure Injection Moulding Technology

Jan. 15, 2014 - PRLog -- OverTEC 5FR is a low pressure moulding system, positioned between high pressure short cycle time processes for mass production and gravity fed long cycle time processes for small runs and prototypes. OverTEC seals and protects electrical and electronic components in a cost effective way through increased production and low cost tooling.


Typically OverTEC can be used to: overmould PCBs, make electric cable glands, provide strain relief on cables, protect sensors and to make electronic connectors for IP protection.

In addition to supplying the OverTEC material, Techsil can also provide customers with design advice for tooling and offer a cost effective CAD design and manufacture service for whatever tooling is required. Alternatively OverTEC  5FR can be used with the customer’s existing tooling.
