In‐mould coating of plastic components

Abstract

Macpherson has developed a totally new product in its London laboratories (See “Comment” February), which enables plastic components to be painted in an entirely different way to that currently in use. The cost of the process is typically one quarter of that of the existing method, the cycle time a small fraction, and the reject level typically one twentieth of the current level. The performance of the painted components is much higher with the new process in respect of adhesion and resistance to stone‐chipping. The product has been readily accepted by the World's Automotive Manufactures, and has been licensed to the second largest U.S. paint company, recently merged with I.C.I. to form the World's largest paint company.
