WHY INJECTION MOULDERS SHOULD USE SPL'S PROPRIETARY COATINGS
|
| SPL
has developed a range of thermoplastic resin based coatings for use
on newly moulded plastics used in such products as electronics, office
equipment, telecommunications, computer, printers, etc. The coatings
are used to hide blemishes, flow lines, mould marks, pigment blooms,
etc. These coatings are also used for spot colour corrections or complete
colour coatings. SPL's coatings offer a number of advantages to injection
moulders over traditional paints. |
 |
  |
- SPL
coatings literally weld themselves to the plastic surfaces, eliminating
the possibility of chipping and peeling, common problems with
paints.
- SPL
manufactures its coatings to very stringent colour standards.
SPL's coatings are manufactured to an FMC DE of less than 1.5
ensuring each coating is directly matched to the application requirements.
Thus, SPL's coatings can be applied as a touch-up with no perceivable
colour mismatch with the substrate.
- SPL
has formulated its coatings to be compatible with the plastics
to which the coatings are being applied. The coatings do not constitute
a contaminant from a recycling stand point. The dry coating is
thermoplastic and therefore melt compatible with the substrate
plastic. Consequently the coated products can be directly recycled
back through the manufacturing process.
- SPL
coatings are applied using minimal material, reducing the amount
of material required in the process and thereby achieving a cost
savings.
