IN-MOULD DECORATION | PROCESSING
screen-printing ink for IMD/FIM is optimised for processing thin PC films (less than 175 microns). Films decorated with it show no curling effect, says Proell. The ink system is typically used for printed electronics. The deep black and opaquely formu- lated N2K 953 is suitable for the decoration of touch panels and shows high electrical resistance in capacitive applications. It meets the increased requirements regarding thermal resistance and the demanding hydrolysis test in the automotive industry.
Brazil opening MCC Global has opened a new in-mould label (IML) facility in Brazil. The new plant in Louveira, near São Paulo, opened in April. It is adjacent to an existing MCC plant that was formerly Flexcoat’s label and lamination operations. The opening means that MCC now prints IML labels in six global locations, which it says gives converters faster access to labels, localised support and new growth opportunities. “Customer centricity is one of our key pillars,”
said Mathieu Nieuwenhuyse, managing director of the IML business at MCC. “Our aim is to always be
close to customers and, support them in their own language. Our Brazil-based sales representative has been instrumental in building our local presence over the last few years.”
IML cups At NPE last year, Arburg used injection compres- sion moulding on an electric Allrounder 720 A Ultimate to produce thin-walled cups with an in-mould label (IML). The 2,900 kN machine has a size 1300 injection
