Hot Stamping Technology - Cost Saving Plastic Decoration

At present, hot stamping technology has become widespread and widely used in interior and exterior decoration of automobiles. The high quality surface, multi-style design and flexible application provided by this process have become the most economical and most attractive technologies in the production of large quantities of plastic parts. Based on successful experience around the world, many new Chinese models are also widely used.

The automotive industry is constantly investing in R&D to improve its grades in the interior and exterior of products to attract customers' attention and gain market share. Because hot stamping technology can provide a variety of decorative effects such as peach wood, carbon fiber and metal effects, it is increasingly favored and become the new darling of the interior. Hot stamping technology has been applied to modern car applications such as door pedals, air conditioning air outlets, handrails, center trims, display panels, signs, thermal grilles, A-B-C columns, exterior trims, and base-to-engine top covers. Process. This technology has been widely used in Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, GM, Ford, Toyota and Audi models for many years.

What is hot stamping technology?

Hot stamping is the application of a coating pre-coated on a carrier foil film to a decorated product by applying heat and pressure. This transfer process can be divided into three processing processes depending on the shape of the product to be decorated, namely, conventional hot stamping, In-Mold-Decoration (IMD) and Insert Molding (INS). Traditional blanching can be performed using a flat iron or a hot roll method because of the surface styling. Both of these processes transfer the coating to a molded part mounted on a jig by means of a heated ironing board or roller. Nowadays, all kinds of standard hot stamp foils can be purchased in the market, and equipment and fixtures are also relatively common and easy to deploy. In the car more suitable for the application of this technology are cooling Ge Shan, chrome trim strips, engine roof, signs and keys. Because of the obvious cost advantage and environmental protection factors, the hot stamping metal effect is better than the plating effect.

In-mold transfer finishes have been synchronized during injection molding

In-mold printing (IMD) is the most innovative blanching technique because it has been coated with a variety of decorative effects while also being somewhat protective. Through the combination of the transfer foil film adsorbed in the injection mold cavity and the melt injected into the mold cavity, the pre-painted design pattern is transferred to the solidified plastic part. The design pattern can also be precisely positioned and the finished product is not required. Additional post-processing, such as spray protection paint.

Because the production and decorating need only a single process, a large amount of cost savings can be made, and the interior design can be easily replaced, and the redesigned version can also be produced in the same class for the special version or configuration of the car. Therefore, this process can best meet the diversification, flexibility, and low cost requirements of the automotive manufacturing industry.

Insert injection molding (INS) is mainly used to supplement the in-mold transfer restrictions on the depth of product decoration. This process utilizes hot-sucking molding or high-pressure molding to transfer the transferred ABS plate (usually 0. 5mm thickness) Three-dimensional stretching is performed, and the insert is cut according to the shape of the product; the insert is then accurately placed in the cavity of the injection mold; finally, the desired decorative effect can be achieved on the injection molded product.

As long as the proper application of each process, can save a lot of cost in plastic parts production and decoration, and these processes can meet the automotive interior and exterior parts in the physical properties and decorative effects of the requirements, although these processes The initial investment is higher, but its price advantage in mass production is sufficient to share this expense.

Various hot stamping processes have advanced surface decoration effects and environmentally-friendly process engineering. Different processes can complement each other and overlap, resulting in high-quality, low-cost decorative effects.
