IMD/FIM screen printing inks and primer solutions for various substrates and backmolding resins

Close collaboration with covestro AG resulted in the development of our innovative screen printing ink systems and adhesion promoters for IMD/FIM technology.

In this technology, also known as the film insert molding (FIM) technique, polycarbonate films are back printed using the screen printing process, formed 3-dimensionally with the Niebling high pressure forming process, and then injection molded with plastic resin on the screen printed side.

The IMD screen printing ink NORIPHAN® HTR N and the adhesion promoters AquaPress® ME and NoriPress® SMK, used with Makrofol® and Bayfol® films make up the ideal combination of durable, attractive products for automotive interiors, telecommunications and panels for household appliances.
