Polycarbonate (PC) film plays a central role in modern IMD components and printed electronics because it combines durability, clarity, and thermal stability in a single material. In IMD technology, the printed film becomes an integral part of the molded component. Therefore, selecting the right substrate, ink, and protective coating directly determines product performance, reliability, and visual quality. At Linepro Controls, engineers carefully select PC film, PET film, and advanced coatings to deliver long-lasting and high-performance IMD solutions. This blog explains … Continue reading “Material Selection in IMD Components Using Polycarbonate (PC) Film”
In-Mold Technology: Inside an IMD Component’s Film Structure, Materials, and Manufacturing Process
Posted on December 18, 2025December 18, 2025Categories In Mold Decoration Leave a comment on In-Mold Technology: Inside an IMD Component’s Film Structure, Materials, and Manufacturing ProcessIntroduction: Why In-mold technology defines modern product surfaces In-mold technology has changed how manufacturers create durable, high-quality, and visually consistent plastic components. Instead of applying graphics or coatings after molding, this advanced process integrates decoration directly into the molded part. As a result, manufacturers achieve superior surface durability, enhanced scratch resistance, and long-lasting aesthetics. Also known as in-mold decoration (IMD), this method uses a precisely engineered IMD film that becomes part of the final component during film insert molding. Therefore, … Continue reading “In-Mold Technology: Inside an IMD Component’s Film Structure, Materials, and Manufacturing Process”
