Résumé : |
Thermoplastic foam injection molding enables lower melt viscosity due to the addition of blowing agent, which is also attractive for the production of thin-walled packaging. Since injection molded packaging is often decorated through in-mold-labeling, it is important to understand how the blowing agent affects adhesion between the film and the molded part to avoid bubble formation at the interface. |
