A co-injection nozzle pin (20) having downstream and upstream ends. The
nozzle pin has therein a central bore (30) including an upstream end (32)
adapted to communicate with a first material and a downstream end (34) exiting
at the downstream end of the pin. The nozzle pin also has an outer surface (36)
including a first portion (38) having a diameter D1, a second
portion (40) having a diameter D2, wherein D2 is less
than D1 and the first portion is rearward of the second portion. The
pin further includes a channel (46) spiralling around the outer surface
and being adapted to communicate with a second material. The channel (46)
includes a first segment (52) defined in the first portion (38) of
the outer surface and increasing in depth as it travels in a downstream direction
and a second segment (54) defined in the second portion (40) of the
outer surface and decreasing in depth as it travels in a downstream direction.
