2. NORIPHAN® HTR N 959 IR transparent black screen printing ink for IMD/FIM technology
With the development of the IR transparent NORIPHAN® HTR N 959, a carbon black free, non-conductive black color shade is available for functional touch panel applications. The color shade has a black appearance in incident light. Under transmitted light the color shades appear transparent and is ideally suited for IR & lidar transmitting areas in display and touch panel applications.
3. NORIPHAN® HTR N 945/546 – UV stabilized white
NORIPHAN® HTR N 945/546 is a special adjusted UV stabilized white color shade, which can be used for BEV front modules. Front modules for electric cars will be decorative, multi-colored, and functional.
The screen printed ink layers are located in between a film and coating compound.
Thereby, the IMD/FIM screen printing inks are protected by the transparent films and hard coat layers. Nevertheless, the weathering stress on a whitely screen printed ink layer is very high, so that a special pigmentation is necessary to adjust the color shade stable.
With the NORIPHAN® HTR N 945/546 – UV stabilized white, an optimized, nearly discoloration free, color shade is now available for the second surface application in front modules.
4. NORIPHAN® HTR N 093/444 – mild formulated one-component lacquer
The transparent and with mild solvents formulated screen printing lacquer is part of the one-component NORIPHAN® HTR N IMD/FIM ink range.
The lacquer is used to print on solvent-sensitive inks (e.g. Mirror Ink M3 N) and sensitive PC substrates, as well as to overprint and protect conductive silver pastes.
5. NORIPHAN® N2K non-conductive screen printing ink for IMD/FIM technology
NORIPHAN® N2K is a well-established solvent-based two-component screen printing ink for IMD/FIM technology.
The glossy ink system is optimized for processing thin PC films (< 175 µm). Films decorated with NORIPHAN® N2K show no curling effect.
Nowadays this IMD/FIM ink system is used especially for printed electronics applications.
The deep black and opaquely formulated color shade NORIPHAN® N2K 953 is suitable for the decoration of touch panels and shows high electrical resistance in capacitive applications.
The NORIPHAN® N2K 953 color shade meets the increased requirements regarding thermal resistance and the demanding hydrolysis test in the automotive industry.
NORIPHAN® N2K ink system is also used for overprinting, embedding and protecting of the sensitive conductive pastes. The ink layers prevent from wash-out effects during the injection molding process.
Films printed with NORIPHAN® N2K are perfectly suitable for the IMD/FIM process (In-Mold-Decoration/Film Insert Molding):
- Good formability e.g. high pressure forming or thermoforming
- Excellent temperature and washout resistance during injection molding
- Good and durable bonding with injection molding resins, preferably PC, PC/ABS and silicon rubber resin
6. Adhesion Promoter PP L67333 – Adhesion Promoter for PP-IMD/FIM
Adhesion Promoter PP L67333 is an adhesion promoter for IMD/FIM technology (Film Insert Molding) which makes back molding of second surface screen printed polypropylene films with polypropylene injection molding material possible. Up to now, back molding of PP film laminates was possible only.
The one-component, solvent-based adhesion promoter PP L67333 has been developed for back printing pre-treated PP films. The IMD/FIM screen printing inks NORIPHAN® XWR and NORIPHAN® N2K are best suited for printing onto PP films.
The printed film shows excellent cohesion in compound values when back molding with various PP materials.
Automotive decorative parts and panels as well as motorcycle fairings and tool housings can be produced in durable quality by using the PP IMD/FIM process.
7. NoriCure® ORL-1
The weather resistant UV curing lacquer can be used for overprinting of solvent-based ink systems (for example, Thermo-Jet®, NoriPUR®) as well as for printing on PVC self-adhesive films, Polycarbonate, rigid
PVC and PMMA.
NoriCure® ORL-1 protects the overprinted ink layer from UV-radiation and is outdoor resistant.
The protective lacquer is available as high gloss version NoriCure® ORL-1/001 and as matt version NoriCure® ORL-1/002. The screen printing lacquer shows excellent printing properties, good scratch and abrasion resistance as well as high chemical resistance.
