IMD Parts for Home Appliance

In Mold Decoration Process:

IMD Parts for Home Appliance uses surface-coated PET film as a carrier, prints ink pattern layer, adhesive and ink curing on the printing surface, and then heats and bakes, performs hot pressing molding and trimming. The molded PET film is fed into the injection mold cavity by manual or robotic arms, filled with plastic, and the adhesive is melted at high temperature, so that the PET film is bonded to the ink pattern layer and forms a whole with the plastic.

IMD technology brings manufacturing and economic advantages:

The economic advantages of the IMD process are unquestionable. Oven control panels are usually made of painted or pure aluminum. Alternatively, additional processing is required to obtain the desired surface appearance. Manufacturing processes such as painting or galvanizing are mostly carried out in Asia or Eastern Europe; these processes are costly and have a rather negative impact on the environment. IMD not only enables injection molding and decoration to be completed in one step, but also applies to recycled plastic materials and brings the decoration process in-house, making it more efficient and sustainable.
