Post mold part deformation of in-mold dry paint film decorated automotive applications

摘要

With the increasing number of TPO interior and exterior automotive components using in-mold dry paint film decoration,a need to understand the affects of different TPO molding resins and molding conditions on post molding part deformation has become apparent for proper material selection and mold design.The following experiments look at different TPO sheet and molding compounds as well as the injection molding conditions that affect the final part shape and size.
