 Decorative Film

Shin-Etsu Mille-tint Film:
"Shin-Etsu Mille-tint Film" is a mirror surface film for insertion or heat molding, processed using our original LCS (Laminate Calendar System) technology processing. This pre-colored film provides a mirror-finished molding with a luxury appearance, eliminating the need for mirror-finishing by color coating.
Functional characteristics of the composition materials:

Composition Material Characteristics
 (1) Acrylic layer Scratch-resistant
UV Ray resistant
Heat resistant
 (2) Printing layer Design
 (3) ABS layer Adhesion
Concealment
Heat resistant (Prevention of a handle's detachment at a gate)
Features:
1. Features of film
(1) Excellent UV Ray resistant and scratch resistant.
(2) No change in the glossiness after molding thanks to its excellent heat resistance, leaving a high grade, fresh and neat impression.
(3) High formability.
(4) Excellent adhesion of resin film in the lowest layer to the injection molding resin is excellent.
2. Features of the injection molding
(1) Mirror-finishing by color coating is not necessary.
(2) Excellent heat resistance (Under continuous heat test at 100 °C).
(3) Partial trimming can be applied (Insertion molding).
(4) No need to color the injection molding resin.

Insertion molding process:
"Shin-Etsu Mille-tint Film" has excellent scratch resistance to maintain the gloss surface after injection molding.
Decoration by insertion molding can be applied even to complex three-dimensional forms.
Process of Our Company:
1. Material File 2. LCS System 3. Compound Film
LCS System:
The LCS system is a double belt press continuous processing system that replaces a multiple-step press. Using this system, a single layer of plastic sheeting, mainly made from thermoplastic resin, and multiple layers of product material are placed between steel belts and vertically arranged in sets of two, to which a mirror side finishing is applied. They are then heated and cooled steadily under continuous pressure over a short period of time.
