Ultimate in Strength and Durability
This co-extruded product was engineered as a superior alternative to the traditional pin-joint-hinge. The living hinge allows two parts to rotate around a pivot point without the use of separate moving parts like pins or bearings. Instead a flexible thermoplastic material is co-extruded in between two rigid sections resulting in a robust one-piece hinge. The flexible material has been engineered to cycle repeatedly without breaking or wearing out, therefore, living hinges are known for their durability and cost-effectiveness in designs that require repeated opening and closing motions. These hinges are commonly found in products like plastic containers, battery compartments, or folding mechanisms and have many different configurations!
