ColorForm技术

注塑成型中的PUR涂层(模内涂层)

产品信息

借助ColorForm技术,您可以直接在注塑模具中涂覆塑料部件,高效、经济,无需额外的涂装系统。这种创新工艺将多组分注塑成型与模内涂层(IMC)相结合,在一个工艺步骤中实现了高质量、耐刮擦的表面。
 
 
什么是ColorForm?
 
 
ColorForm是一种注塑成型中的PUR涂层工艺,其中热塑性部件在注塑成型后立即用聚氨酯(PUR)表面完成。
与传统的塑料绘画不同,涂层直接施加在模具中(“内联”)。关键优势:塑料部件可以直接在注塑模具中涂漆,不再需要单独的涂漆系统。
 
因此,ColorForm完全取代了传统的绘画工艺,为传统的塑料绘画提供了一种有效的替代方案。
 
 
公司受益于众多优势:
  • 通过消除额外的涂层步骤,显著降低了生产成本
  • 物流成本和内部运输距离最小化
  • 与传统涂层工艺相比,废品率更低
  • 节省空间且高效的生产理念
  • 以创新的设计效果,经济高效地生产优质表面
  • 通过减少材料和能源消耗,实现更可持续的生产

Perfect color. Perfect surface. Perfect functionality. All in one step.

The ColorForm process (in-mold coating in injection molding) combines multi-component injection molding with in-mold coating, enabling the efficient production of high-quality plastic surfaces.
 
 
An overview of the individual steps of the ColorForm process:
  • Placing the film onto a handling frame for precise positioning in the subsequent manufacturing process
  • Repositioning the film handling frame within the production cell
  • Applying the polycarbonate design film as a decorative and functional surface layer
  • Inserting the design film into the cavity of the thermoforming mold
  • Injection molding of the third component (PC-ABS) to bond the carrier structure and the surface
  • Removal of the finished component, including the film handling frame
  • Storing and returning the film handling frame to the production cycle
  • Storing the finished plastic part with a high-quality, coated surface

The ColorForm cycle. Painting directly in the mold.

ColorForm parts

High gloss, depth effect, and texture in a single surface.

 
 
 
ColorForm technology enables the production of high-quality plastic surfaces via injection molding that combine multiple visual and functional effects: high gloss, depth effect, and precise surface textures. The use of in-mold coating with polyurethane (PUR) results in durable and visually appealing components - without the need for subsequent painting.
 
 
 
Companies benefit from significant efficiency and quality advantages:
  • Up to 40% cost savings by eliminating painting processes
  • Reduced CO₂ emissions due to lower energy and material consumption
  • No solvents or paint waste ensures more sustainable production
  • High-gloss, scratch-resistant surfaces without orange peel
  • Lower scrap rate due to stable processes
  • Space-saving production concept without a separate painting system
  • Custom surface textures through microstructured tool surfaces

Colorform components

What makes surfaces produced with ColorForm stand out?

  • High-gloss surface without an “orange peel” effect
  • Precise parting lines due to mold design – no color separation
  • Surface effects created by a microstructured mold surface
  • Detailed microstructures: grain patterns, design textures, and lettering
  • High scratch resistance thanks to a self-healing surface
  • Transparent coating systems create depth effects
