Polyurethane Class A Overmolding of Injection Molded Parts

This presentation will explore the in-situ polyurethane (PU) overmolding of injection-molded and composite parts, allowing for direct out-of-mold class "A" surfaces. KraussMaffei will review the process and equipment required. It will also discuss tooling types currently available for PU systems for this process. KraussMaffei will compare the pros and cons of this technology over currently-available coating and painting systems.

Agenda:

• Introduction and evolution of the ColorForm technology
• Overview of the ColorForm process
• Equipment required
• Tooling and PU systems
• Benefits of the system compared to typical spray-applied coatings
• Pros and cons of the technology
