We have enhanced several of our binding and crampon components using a manufacturing technique called overmolding. By injection molding a proprietary thermoplastic blend over and through existing aluminum or steel parts several key areas of friction and wear are eliminated.
A steel or aluminum part is loaded into our mold.
The mold closes and the thermoplastic is injected into the mold. The molten plastic forms around the part in the mold and then cools into a solid state.
The mold opens and the finished part is released.
Our team created their own custom thermoplastic blend specific to the overmold process that includes additives to make it extremely cold tolerant, durable, and abrasion-resistant.
