An over-molded interior trim method and system are provided. In another aspect, a method of manufacturing a trim panel includes: injecting a liquid substrate polymer between molds to create a substrate, injecting a liquid urethane polymer into a cavity directly against the substrate to create a skin or cover, flowing or wrapping in a mold the urethane polymer around at least one peripheral edge of the substrate, and extending the urethane polymer onto a backside of the substrate.

A casing component according to an embodiment of the present technology includes a decorating film and a casing part. The decorating film is formed on a base film by vapor deposition and includes a metal layer, fine cracks being formed in the metal layer by stretching the base film. The casing part has a decorated region, the decorating film being adhered to the decorated region.

The disclosure relates to a method for producing an optical element (42, 43) having at least one optically effective surface, wherein, by means of a first injection mold of an injection-molding machine (500, 500′) liquid transparent plastic (54, P4014, P4017) is injection-molded to form a preform and/or a pre-molded part (20) having at least one preform (22, 23), the preform or the pre-molded part (20) subsequently being cooled outside the first injection mold and/or outside the injection-molding machine (500, 500′), and the preform (22, 23) to form the optical element subsequently being injection-molded and/or over-molded in a second injection mold by applying at least one layer of plastic, which forms the optically effective surface (42, 43).

The invention relates to a composite component that has improved bonding properties and includes a substrate (i) made of a thermoplastic polymer blend composition, and a coating (ii); in a layer located 5 to 10 μm below the boundary surface between the substrate (i) and the coating (ii), the substrate (i) has a dispersed, non-lamellar phase structure. The invention also relates to a method for manufacturing the composite component.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a transfer sheet capable of providing hard coat properties and excellent weather resistance to a resin molded article such as organic glass. The transfer sheet has, in order, a base material film for mold release, a hard coat layer, a primer layer, and an adhesive layer. The weather resistance and adhesiveness of the hard coat layer and the primer layer are improved and hard coat properties and excellent weather resistance can be provided to a resin molded article being the transfer object, as a result of: the hard coat layer being formed from a cured product of a resin composition including a curable resin; and the primer layer being formed from a binder resin including a polyurethane having a mass-average molecular weight of 40,000-100,000 and including 1-30% by mass of an acrylic component.

A decorated molding article includes a workpiece and a composite layer structure. The composite layer structure is attached to an outer surface of the workpiece through an adhesive layer. The composite layer structure at least includes: a substrate having a first surface and a second surface opposite to each other; an optical effect layer disposed on the first surface of the substrate; and a decorative layer disposed between the first surface of the substrate and the optical effect layer. The decorative layer formed by a printing method has a thickness less than a thickness of the optical effect layer formed by a coating method, and the optical effect layer and the decorative layer each includes a protective material, an ink material, and an adhesive material. In such embodiment, the all-in-one coating material may be formed on the substrate by the coating method or the printing method to form the optical effect layer and the decorative layer with protective, color, and adhesive effects.

The invention relates to a cover element having a housing of a film that is formed and moulded between a front plate and a carrier plate and is used to represent multidimensional structures, the carrier plate being connected on the rear side to a heating plate, characterized in that the housing consists of an annular housing base and an annular housing front, and a circuit-board ring having LEDs and plugs is installed in the housing base.

The improved mold assembly for cultured marble molding is provided. The mold assembly can comprise a male mold portion and a female mold portion. The assembly can further comprise a molding tool. The molding tool can have a side wall having an upper curved s and a lower curved portion. The molding tool can be constructed from a flexible and/or soft material. The lower curved portion of the molding tool can be coated with a gel coat having a first color. The molding tool can facilitate molding of a countertop having a recessed bowl portion having a color different from a counter portion of the countertop.

A process for the production of an article for the cladding of floors or walls, comprising the steps of, in a mold: a) optionally applying a gel coat layer, based on a first curing polymer resin, on the inside of the mold in order to obtain a coated mold, and b) introducing into the core of the mold or into the core of the coated mold from step a) a filling composition which is based on a second curing polymer resin supplemented with at least one mineral filler, wherein core contains at least 5% wt and at most 20% wt of curing polymer resin, relative to the dry amount of filling composition, and the filling composition contains only one single initiator in a concentration of 0.5% wt to 5.0% wt relative to the amount of curing polymer resin in the filling composition.
