✨ Clearmelt® – Premium Surfaces Straight Out of the Mold ✨
When design and durability meet in injection molding, Clearmelt® technology offers a unique solution.
๐น What is Clearmelt®?
It’s an advanced process that combines in-mold decoration with a transparent, scratch-resistant polyurethane (PU) coating applied directly inside the mold. The result? A single step that delivers both decoration and protection.
๐น Key Benefits:
๐ Premium look & feel – high-gloss, glass-like surfaces with depth effect
๐ก️ Durability – scratch, UV and chemical resistance
⚙️ Process integration – no need for secondary coating operations
๐จ Design freedom – colors, gradients, textures, and functional layers (e.g. touch control)
๐น Where is it used?
Automotive interiors & trim parts
High-end consumer electronics
Premium appliances and lifestyle products
⚠️ Challenges to watch out for:
Complex mold and process setup
Longer cycle times compared to standard molding
Higher initial investment, making it ideal for premium and high-volume applications
๐ก Takeaway: Clearmelt® opens the door to integrated, durable, and visually striking plastic parts – bridging the gap between aesthetics and functionality.
