Abstract
A coinjection molding apparatus is disclosed that provides a skin material melt stream and a core material melt stream to a nozzle. A nozzle tip of the nozzle defines a central skin material melt passage for receiving the skin material melt stream, an annular core material melt passage for receiving the core material melt stream and an annular outer layer melt passage, which receives a portion of the skin material melt stream from the central skin material melt passage. The skin material melt stream from the central skin material melt passage forms an inner layer of a molded article, the core material melt stream from the core material melt passage forms a core layer of the molded article, and the skin material melt stream from the outer layer melt passage forms an outer layer of the molded article, wherein the three melt streams combine prior to entering a mold cavity.
