IMD (In-Mold Decoration) is a new technology for placing a Film film in an injection mold to decorate the surface of a plastic surface. At present, IMD has two manufacturing methods. One is to make a printed Film film into a circulating roller roll, which is installed in an injection molding machine and an injection mold. The label Label is attached to the front mold surface and fully automatic. Production is known; that is, people call it IMD (transfer injection molding in the mold).
The other is to print the Film film through Forming molding, and then cut it and put it into the injection mold to produce it. It is called IML (film injection molding in the mold). This Film can generally be divided into three layers: substrate (usually PET), ink layer (INK), and glue (mostly a special adhesive).
When the injection molding is completed, the film and the plastic are tightly combined by the adhesive glue. Because the PET with the wear-resistant protective film on the outer surface is in the outermost layer, it has the functions of abrasion resistance and scratch resistance, and the surface hardness can be It reaches 3H, and it will be brighter and brighter. The injection molding materials are mostly PC, PMMA, PBT and so on.
