In-Mold Coatings
CilCoat is a polyurethane based in-mold coating. CilCoat chemically bonds with the substrate as it cures – it will not come off. It also mimics the substrate (i.e. if the substrate is flexible, the cilcoat will flex with it, without cracking)
Features
- Excellent exterior durability
- UV stable – protects part from yellowing from UV and ozone
- Extends the life of a mold by protects molds from burnout (i.e. POR-A-KAST drawing oil out of silicone mold)
- Wear/use resistance
- Functions as a primer
- Multi color like: Clear, White, Black, Tan, and others
Markets
- Flower Pots
- Anyone using foam
- Spa pillow rests
- Sports padding
Spray In-Mold Painting
In the mid 1970's polyurethane molders began to take an interest in the concept of producing primed or colored items by spraying a thin film of paint into an open mold and then placing the casting system onto the coating. This idea became known as the IMC process.
The IMC process was first used with polyurethane foams in the manufacturing of head restraints, steering wheels and armrests for the automotive industry. The process is straightforward. A release agent is first applied to the mold followed by application of the paint.
Cilcoat finishes create a more colorful world for the end user of molded polyurethane components. In the automotive industry, Cilcoat is used to color co-ordinate components within the vehicle to enhance appearance and protect components from ultra-violet radiation. In the footwear industry, Cilcoat enables simulation of wood, leather and cork on polyurethane sole units.
Cilcoat finishes are also now available in one & two component, solvent & water based and even self-releasing grades which eliminate the need for a release agent.
