Precise temperature control and a quick change-over
of injection materials with insulation caps made of
high-performance plastic DOGLIDE 350
®
What is the main reason of insulation caps in hotrunner technology for the
automated injection moulding of thermoplastics? Well, a rather important one!
They reduce the time for changing the injection material due to the fact that
the pre-chamber area is not filled with plastic. Therefore, the risk of colour
mixing and bubble formation is minimised. As a result, difficult colour
changes, such as from black to white, or for crystal clear polycarbonate
melting, carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic or metal filling as well as heatsensitive materials such as PE, PP, PA, POM, PVC, PUR and others are
no longer a problem.
What is special about DOGLIDE® 350?
Compared to conventional materials, DOGLIDE 350 has a number of remarkable properties, such as
(the exact technical data on the right):
Continuous temperature resistance up to 280 °C (up to 400 °C for short periods of time)
Dimensional stability with good mechanical strength
Low thermal conductivity of 0.2 W/mk
Insulation caps made of DOGLIDE 350 guarantee a precise temperature control. At the same time, the
caps are extremely safe even under the most challenging pressure and temperature conditions.
Why does the
material matter, from which
the insulation caps are
made?
Storage modulus

Conventional insulation caps
(also called colour change caps) are
made of PEEK, PTFE or titanium.
With DOGLIDE 350, DOTHERM offers a
high-quality alternative based on
in-house developed highperformance plastic.
High mechanical stability across the entire temperature range compared to PEEK
