Multilayer
Persico R&D constantly works on developing multilayer solutions to meet complex market requests that cannot be fulfilled by using a single material.

Multilayer solutions offer multiple benefits – weight reduction through the use of expanded materials and overall cost reduction by using aesthetically pleasing materials for the outer layer in combination with less expensive recycled materials for the inner layers.
The range of possible multi-layer solutions is rather extensive, but accurate process control and automated material delivery are essential.
Precise temperature control helps ensure that foam depth and inner layer thickness are controlled.
Mould and air temperature profiles can be used to accurately time the addition of each layer of material.
Soft material can be over-moulded into specific areas on a part (as sealing surfaces or handles, for example) by controlling the heat flow.
