What is IMD?
Chinese translation is called a mould injection of IMD (In Mold Decoration) refers to all materials including plastic, wood, leather, bamboo, metal and so on In injection molding machine cavity, after waiting for injection molding machine and film and plastic molding, become a kind of processing technology will not separate the whole.
What is on IML?
On IML technology is a combination of screen printing, molding and injection molding of a new type of mould decoration technology, in the decoration products, mold decoration (on IML) is one of the most effective ways to save the cost, are widely used in communication products (such as: mobile phone lens, panel, decoration, shell, etc.), household electrical appliances, window panels, button panel, decorative panels, etc.), medical apparatus and instruments (window lens, chassis, decoration, etc.), PC digital and car dashboard, etc. Diverse applications can make a mould decoration ideal replace many traditional process: like ink, directly on the surface of printing, surface spraying, electroplating, double color injection molding and other traditional decorative methods directly. The IML technology is most suitable for 3D products, especially for the consistent color pattern, backlight and various colors, which should be reflected in various surfaces and arcs.
And the slope.
On IML products with high resolution and good stereo feeling, surface scratch wear-resisting, can change the design, enhance product design modelling beautiful appearance, embodies the perfect heterotypic structure advantage, on IML technology is widely used in mobile phone lenses, Windows products, chassis, panels, etc to the appearance of 3 d modeling products. To solve the different effect and various colors that the acrylic tablet can not achieve.
Three layers of IMD/IML products:
1. Surface: film (PET film, can print any pattern and color), wood, leather, bamboo, cloth, imitation wood, imitation leather, imitation cloth, imitation metal, etc.
2. Middle layer: Ink, glue, etc.
3. Bottom layer: plastic (ABS/PC/TPU/PP/PVC, etc.).
Differences between IMD and IML:
IML products are one of the IMD products, and the surface of IML products is the PET film, and the other middle layer and the bottom layer are the same.
Features of IMD/IML products:
1. The product design and color definition are high, never fade, and have a three-dimensional sense;
2. Long service life, surface abrasion resistance, and permanent appearance of bright and clean as new;
3. The printing accuracy is plus or minus 0.05mm, which can print complex and multi-colored patterns;
4. The design and color can be changed at any time in the production process without changing the mold;
5. The appearance of IML products is not only the shape of the plane, but also the shape of surface, arc and inclined plane.
6. The product does not contain any solvent adhesive, which meets the environmental requirements;
7. The transmittance of the window lens is as high as 92%;
8. The function button is smooth and smooth, with good handle, and the key product can be used for embossing and embossing in the mold, which can last up to a million times.
