Haotong Plastic focuses on the process of IMD phone cases and IMD panels.

Chinese name: In mold decoration technology, also known as non coating technology. English name: In Mold Decoration, IMD is an internationally popular surface decoration technology. Case-hardening transparent film, middle printing pattern layer, back injection molding layer, ink middle, easy to fade.

Haotong Plastic IMD technology can save on reprocessing costs, which is highly attractive to the automotive industry. Venkata Krishnan Umamaheswaran, the production manager of Lexan SLX (a polycarbonate copolymer) body parts at GE Plastics, said, "The most expensive thing on cars is paint. The paint production line is the largest investment in the automotive assembly workshop, occupying half of the floor space of the workshop, and producing over 1500 tons of VOCs (volatile organic compounds) within a year

The advantages of IMD technology also include: low yield of leftover materials; Capable of forming and decorating parts in the same location; Better recyclability. IMD technology can obtain A-grade surfaces without flow marks, and it will not cause "in mold color retention" like flow marks. However, if the part itself has many holes and must be decorated after demolding, the economic benefits of IMD technology will be greatly reduced.

Advocates of IMD technology claim that body panels made from the latest generation of formable films have even higher scratch and impact resistance compared to painted metal panels. However, assuming that car manufacturers still invest heavily in paint production lines, IMD is still unlikely to completely replace the paint process today. However, industry observers believe that in the United States, even with investment, there will be very few cases of building large paint production lines in the future.
