* In order to reliably manufacture dipped soft PVC recessed handles, we require a minimum wall thickness of 1.5 mm at the open end of the handles, depending on the internal diameter. We will be happy to inform you of the required minimum wall thickness in our meaningful offers with.

We summarise for you the features of our Recessed handle, dipped, for round profile briefly summarised:

Article features

  • For the production of the recessed handles, we use soft PVC from our Covytec material series with a standard hardness of 68 or 85 Shore A.
  • Optional processing of phthalate-free and biocompatible Covytec special types possible
  • Increased UV protection as an additional optional material property
  • Manufacturing without tool separation seam and burr formation
  • Made-to-order production in one of the 9 standard colours at no extra cost
  • There are 13 standard dimensions to choose from, suitable for round tubes and round profiles from 11 to 33 mm.
  • The flexible PVC ensures that the wave handles cannot be lost within the recommended diameter specifications.
  • Manufacture in graduated handle lengths according to the measurement table
  • Free product samples of most sizes are available from stock
  • Clean and safe thanks to the absence of saline heat transfer media

 

PVC recessed handles with deep recesses from HAMCO are the perfect solution for all applications where robust and ergonomic handle systems are required. The PVC dipping process enables handles with shiny, visually smooth, yet non-slip, easy-to-clean surfaces that meet the highest standards of comfort, durability, resilience and abrasion resistance.

The economically viable production The ergonomic, easy-grip design, produced using a pressureless PVC dipping process without expensive injection moulding tools, ensures optimum handling without mould separation or burr formation.

With our recessed handles, you get a standardised handle solution, which nevertheless Can be flexibly adapted to your requirements.

Our standard Covytec material types are suitable for general use due to their Material properties of PVC with regard to oil, chemical and UV resistance for many, predominantly Industrial applications.

Our two phthalate-free and biocompatible special types Covytec 1649 ORGANIC and Covytec 9977 BIO are ideal as a material for the manufacture of physiologically safe handles for therapeutic sports equipment and medical technology devices.

Process description – Manufacture of dipped PVC recessed handles with deep recesses

The PVC dipping process is a pressureless manufacturing process which, unlike injection moulding, requires only a very simple tool. A dipping tool that has been heated in an oven is immersed in a bath of liquid PVC. When the hot moulding tool comes into contact with the PVC paste, also known as plastisol, a skin forms on the outer contour of the moulding core, which develops to the desired wall thickness of the cable protection caps by the end of a defined dwell time in the dipping bath. The wall thickness to be achieved depends on the temperature of the tool, the dwell time of the tool in the immersion bath and the viscosity of the PVC material.

After removing the immersion tool from the immersion bath, the excess PVC material runs off and drips away.

The mould with the PVC layer is then heated again in order to achieve the rubber-elastic properties of the PVC material. This work step is often referred to as gelling.

After gelling, the moulded handles can be removed from the cores using a special tool.

The process of manufacturing PVC dip moulded parts We describe this in great detail with general design, assembly and quality information on the product pages of the PVC round capsthe Rectangular caps, the product page of the Coating of metallic components and in the knowledge section under Manufacturing processes.

Residue-free from heat transfer media

Our PVC dipped parts are manufactured with a salt-free heat transfer system - completely without lithium nitrate or potassium nitrate - for Maximum purity and safety.The result is particularly clean, dimensionally stable and durable PVC-coated components that meet the highest quality requirements – manufactured in an environmentally friendly manner, while also offering improved occupational safety and easier disposal.

*Light colours that are exposed to outdoor weathering can be made UV-stable by adding a formulation ingredient. Dark colours such as black and anthracite grey are generally UV-resistant.
As both the base material (PVC plastisol) and a UV stabiliser have a yellowish inherent colour, the accuracy of the RAL colour shade is minimally affected. We confirm the colour shade similar to the RAL number.

The standard soft PVC type used by HAMCO Covytec 6691 With a Shore A hardness of 68, it offers sufficient elasticity for secure mounting, regardless of the standard or special colour selected. The same applies to the significantly harder version of the wave handles with a Shore A hardness of 85, which requires more force to install on a significantly larger round profile. Heating to 50-75°C and applying a glass cleaner to the round profile usually helps to avoid installation difficulties.
