The ski-pass door closure for Citroën C6
One current application of the inter-mold® technology is the ski door of the Citroën C6.
The polypropylene ski door is mounted in the armrest compartment of the 2nd row seat back. When one opens the decorative cover behind the middle armrest on which loop is sewn, the ski door and its two inter-mold® hook areas are revealed. When the system is closed, the inter-mold® hooks hold the decorative cover closed.

New inter-mold® Hook Type : Micro Hook
These dimensions make it have a specific soft feel and an innovative design. Due to its tiny dimensions the Micro Hook is intended to be used with low profile loops such as aplix® 200. But its minuscule size does not prevent it from reaching useful and interesting closure performances. Indeed tests according NF EN 13780 show that a Micro Hook - aplix® 200 closure (Micro Hook in PP 10% carbonate calcium filled) has a shear strength of 27 N/cm².

inter-mold® technology is now compatible with VICTREX® PEEK(TM)
inter-mold® technology is an innovative method of integrally molding a field of hooks in an injection molded component.
The simultaneous use of inter-mold® technology and VICTREX® PEEK(TM) opens new possibilities, increasing performance and productivity. VICTREX® PEEK(TM) is designed to replace metals for many applications. Moreover, VICTREX® PEEK(TM) grade 151G requires no flame retardant additives to achieve a V-0 rating (at 3.0 mm thickness, according UL94 specification). In addition, inter-mold® technology eliminates the use of adhesives or additional ultra-sonic welding steps.
VICTREX® is a registered trademark. PEEK(TM) is a trademark of Victrex plc.
