Mass production of in-mold using PCR-PC (recycled resin) | Environmental consideration
Mass production of in-mold decoration without compromising quality, even with carbon-neutral recycled PCs.
As part of the product's carbon neutrality efforts, the use of recycled resin (PCR-PC) is required; however, there were concerns about its impact on the flowability and transfer quality specific to in-mold forming, making it difficult to balance environmental considerations with mass production quality. We explored and selected suppliers of PCR-PC resin suitable for in-mold forming and optimized the molding conditions (temperature, pressure, filling speed). After evaluating the materials (flowability, transfer quality, appearance quality) and confirming compatibility with the foil, we established a manufacturing system that simultaneously achieves mass procurement of environmentally friendly products and maintains in-mold quality with PCR-PC resin. We support decorative molding that meets sustainability requirements.
