Exterior automotive thermoplastic parts can be painted in the mold using paint film laminate technology. This is accomplished by insert molding of a vacuum thermoformed shell made from the paint film laminate. This process provides a smooth, high-gloss painted surface meeting automotive requirements and exhibiting exceptional resistance to chemical etching. Solid colors, metallics and graphic patterns can be produced. Since the paint film laminate is applied dry, the process generates no VOC emissions and doe not require any painting facilities. This paper describes how the paint film laminate is manufactured, how it provides a painted part advantages of the process and commercial applications.
