IMD process

IMD (In-Mold Decoration) process is a technology that prints patterns on special plastic films and then combines these films with the injection molding material during injection molding. This technology allows the direct adhesion of high-resolution patterns on the surface of the product, and has the advantages of wear resistance, acid and alkali resistance, corrosion resistance, etc., so it is widely used in many industries such as electronic products, auto parts, and home appliances.

Key steps in the IMD process include pattern design, film printing, film molding and injection molding. Film printing can be done in a variety of ways, such as monochrome screen printing or four-color printing. The printed pattern is combined with the plastic substrate by hot pressing to form the final product. One of the biggest advantages of IMD technology is the ability to achieve high pattern resolution and color brightness, making the appearance of the product more visually striking. In addition, IMD technology also has good wear resistance and weather resistance, which can withstand physical wear such as scratching and friction in daily use, and can also resist chemical corrosion such as ultraviolet light and acid and alkali.

IMD process can be divided into IML, IMR, IME and other types, they have their own emphasis on product application. For example, IML is the integrated injection molding of the printed PET film  and the plastic substrate, while IMR is the printing of the pattern on the film, and the film is fitted with the plastic model cavity by the film feeding machine for injection. IME is an electronic extension of the IML process, also known as 3D in-mode electronics process.

The application of IMD technology is not only limited to the surface decoration and functional panel of household appliances, but also includes the panel, logo and other appearance parts of a variety of fields such as mobile phone window lens  and shell, washing machine control panel , refrigerator control panel , air conditioning control panel , and automobile instrument panel . With the continuous progress of science and technology and the continuous improvement of consumer requirements for product appearance, IMD process technology will be more widely used and promoted, bringing more possibilities for product design and manufacturing.
