Multi-Color Injection

Instructions:

Inject different colored materials into the mold either sequentially or simultaneously to achieve visually striking multi-color soft-gel products. Techniques include color blocking, gradients, or partitioned injection. This method is ideal for aesthetic creations, functional differentiation, or personalized product design.

Common Approaches:

  • Manually change material colors for segmented injection
  • Design molds with multiple channels for partitioned injection
  • Pre-mix different colors to create gradient or marble-like effects

Application Examples:

  • Two-tone squishy toys (gradient or contrasting colors)
  • Color-separated game controller grips (different colors for left and right functional zones)
  • Educational models (different structural areas distinguished by color)

Material Tips:

  • Use raw material of the same hardness with different pigments for easy matching
  • Add fluorescent powder, pearlescent powder, etc. for special visual effects
  • Design molds with logical partitions to prevent unclear color separation or uneven injection
