Molded-in-Color 2003 Dodge Neon Film Fasica Using a Thermoformed multi-layer co-extruded Ionomer film with injection molded Polypropylene substrate.

摘要

A new multi-layer co-extrusion in-color ionomer film is developed to provide an alternative decoration process to replace paint on Neon Fasicas.The ionomer film provides a high-gloss "class-A" surface in both non-metallic and metallic colors that matches car body paint finish.Using the ionomer film to decorate fascias reduces cost;eliminates VOCs;increases manufacturing flexibility and improves performance (weatherability and durability).The molding process consists of thermoforming a film and injection molding Polypropylene or TPO behind the film.The presentation will include,the background,film materials development,co-extrusion process development,thermoforming of the film,injection molding and trimming and final fascai,tooling optimization and testing of the film.
