overmolded
Sealed in polymer
Overmolded describes a manufacturing process where one material is molded over another to create a single integrated part.
The technique bonds plastic, rubber, or silicone over a rigid base—typically for improved grip, cushioning, or aesthetics: The overmolded handle provides a comfortable, non-slip surface.
Common in tools, electronics, and medical devices where ergonomics matter.
