Mould press technology is analysed

IMD's Chinese name: extrusion surface decoration technologies (mould decoration), namely the IMD (In - Mole Decoratiom), IMD is popular In the international surface decoration technology, mainly used In electrical appliances product surface decorative and functional panel, commonly used In the mobile window lens and housing, washing machine control panel, refrigerator, air conditioner control panel of the control panel, car dashboard, rice cooker control panel panel, signs of a variety of domains such as pieces of the appearance.

IMD (In Mold Decoration) is a kind is placed In the injection mould to decorate the plastic Film Film appearance on the surface of the new technology. IMD currently there are two kinds of methods, one kind is the printed Film roll Film made into circulation drum belt, installed in the injection molding machine and injection molds, like the tag Label on front mould surface automatic cycle produced with mobile; People call it the IMD (in mold transfer molding).

The other is a good Film Film printing machine after Forming Forming, again after shearing is placed in the injection mould. Is called on IML film (in the mould injection molding). The Film in general can be divided into three layers: base material (PET) normally, printing INK layer (INK), agglutination materials (as a special kind of glue).

When the injection is completed, through the role glue Film and plastic together together, because itself is surface of wear resistant protective Film PET in the outermost layer, have the effect of the wear resistance and scratch resistance, its surface hardness can be up to 3 h, and will feel more and more bright. The molding material, PBT, PC, PMMA, etc

The traditional plastics processing technology has been gradually cannot satisfy the demand of the new age, light, thin, short and consumer electronic products and the rise of environmental consciousness, IMD technology is based on the arises at the historic moment. Due to the advantage of (IMD) is suitable for 3 c, household appliances, LOGO name plate and plastic products of auto parts, especially the popularity of mobile phone shell, and all kinds of instrument panel. The world's advanced manufacturers such as Bayer (Germany), American GE, are fully in the development process.

(IMD) mould decoration is a relatively new production process automation, compared with other technology (IMD) can simplify production process and reduce the piecemeal components, so can quickly production to save time and cost, also improve quality, increase the complexity of the image and improve the application on the product appearance, product durability advantages (IMD) is the most efficient method, it is on the membrane surface to print, high pressure forming, cutting, and finally combined with plastic molding, exempt from secondary operating procedures and manpower working hours, especially in backlit and curved surface, fake metal and wire processing, logic light lines, frame interference... When printing paint process to handle, but also the timing of use IMD process.

(IMD) mould decoration can replace many of the traditional process, such as thermal transfer, spraying, printing, electroplating and other exterior decoration method. Especially need a variety of color images, backlight, and other related products
