Surface films transform everyday plastic (any kind of PP) into a prismatic and elegant masterpiece. With improved efficiency and sustainability, Surface films offers a surprising, unconventional, and inspiring solution to plastics decoration. The smart Surface film leads to a lean production process by reducing process steps.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<strong>Main points in brief<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>In a radical way, Surface films streamline the entire production process of 3D PP parts, making it faster, safer, more economical, and sustainable.<\/li>\n<li>With the Surface film\/paint foil combination, the production process of a painted 3D PP part is reduced to one step and fully integrated into the rear-injection molding tool.<\/li>\n<li>The Surface film on its own can directly be inserted into a rear-injection molding tool thus producing PP parts with a polar Class-A surface.<\/li>\n<li>Surface films open new opportunities to convert recycled and modified PP into parts with a decorated Class-A surface.<\/li>\n<li>With Surface films parts produced from recycled PP get a polar Class-A surface.

Then, paint foil laminated with Surface film is ready for rear injection molding. This eliminates various process steps necessary for the typical film insert molding (FIM) processes such as forming, cutting and trimming. With Surface finished paint foil, the production process is reduced to one step. Another benefit of this method is the reduction of rejection rates as well as the elimination of paint overspray. Surface\u00a0 finished metallic paint foils can even be used as a sustainable alternative to galvanization\/chrome plating.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;2592&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;][vc_column_text]<em>Injection molding with the Surface film paint foil combination.

Surface finished PP and rPP parts eliminate the cleaning, pretreatment and the application of a liquid primer, steps that are typically required for PP injected parts. The benefit of this method is a 1-step produced PP or rPP part, ready for decoration. This leads to shorter cycle times, less rejection rates and lower waste. In addition, Surface film not only works as primer but also evens the surface of the injected part. Therefore, as a remarkable novelty, Surface film opens new opportunities to convert recycled and modified PP into parts with a decorated Class-A surface.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<strong>New possibilities for PP in aesthetic applications<\/strong><br \/>\nWith Surface films, PP is transformed into an easily decorated component, where sustainability meets high optical requirements as in mobility (e.g. automotive, scooter) or home appliances.
