Discovering In-Mold Decoration Coating-Free Carbon Fiber Rims

Release time:2021-12-09

  • At EIE, we are committed to distinguishing our products through unique design, profile, and appearance. Our goal is to pursue innovation in every aspect. Responding to market demands, we have developed our own coating-free process, which we proudly call "IN-MOLD-DECORATION.

    What Is IN-MOLD-DECORATION?

     

    The IN-MOLD-DECORATION process is an innovative surface treatment technique that sets itself apart from traditional coating methods. Unlike conventional approaches that require painting to conceal surface imperfections, our paint-free process allows the final product to maintain its original appearance straight out of the mold, eliminating the need for additional modifications. 

     

    While this advanced manufacturing technique presents challenges due to strict aesthetic requirements, it results in superior quality products.

     

    To enhance the aesthetic of carbon fiber and provide a more vivid texture, we use a customized epoxy resin. This material ensures that the carbon fiber surface is clear and lifelike, with no color discrepancies.

     

    Advantages of IN-MOLD-DECORATION Over Traditional Coating


    1.Increased Strength: Our coating-free rims are inherently stronger than traditional coated rims, as the absence of post-production processes (like sanding) protects the structural integrity of the carbon fiber.


    2. Environmental Friendliness: The release agents we employ in the manufacturing process are eco-friendly, reducing the environmental impact compared to traditional paint applications. By eliminating the need for paint, harmful solvents and chemicals associated with traditional painting processes are reduced. This makes the manufacturing process not only more sustainable but also safer for workers.


    3. Superior Scratch Resistance: Rims produced with the IN-MOLD-DECORATION process are more scratch-resistant than their painted counterparts, ensuring a cleaner, more durable finish.

     

    4. Sleek Aesthetic: The advanced design provides a modern look that enhances the visual appeal of the wheels.Since the surface finish is determined during the molding process, every product maintains uniformity in appearance and performance.

     

    5. Enhanced Longevity: The combination of high-strength materials and the absence of a painted layer leads to a longer-lasting product that resists wear and tear much better than traditional coated rims.

     

    At present,Over 80% of our products can be manufactured using the coating-free process.”

    The coating-free surface allows for the application of water slide decals, providing an opportunity for customized branding and artistic designs without compromising the product's integrity.

    Additionally, we can do engraving laser directly onto the surface, enhancing the aesthetic appeal with precise and intricate designs. This flexibility not only adds a personal touch to our products but also maintains the lightweight and durable characteristics inherent to our coating-free manufacturing process.
