Kunststoffe international, Automotive Display: A Matter of Form
...the transfer film with the hard coating. Where the two strands meet, the two film layers are backmolded by injection-compression. At the beginning of the upper strand there is a large web of PC film (grade: Makrofol HF, supplier: Covestro AG, Leverkusen, Germany). The Makrofol HF is ideal for the purpose due to its high thermal resistance and transparency, as well excellent formability and elasticity over a wide temperature range. This 375 µm-‧thick film is first printed with functional and deco...

...also play a key role in the circular economy in plastics production and help to reduce the CO2 footprint of plastics and the products that are manufactured from them. For instance, Covestro has recently launched Makrofol EC, a partially bio-based PC film whose carbon content is derived from starch and thus from plant biomass by more than 50 %. It features similarly favorable properties to comparable standard PC films and offers improved chemical and weathering resistance as well as high abrasion...

...ring current in the mA range. If a thicker layer of metal is required for heavier currents, the conductive tracks can be made thicker afterwards by electroplating. The most suitable types of film for the substrate material are polycarbonate (grade: Makrofol, manufacturer: Bayer) and (PBT+PC) blends (grade: Bayfol, manufacturer: Bayer). They can be insert moulded with PC or (PC+ABS) blends without using a primer. Complex Structures by Film Pre-forming Work on the technology of insert moulding a...

...ring thermoplastics have high impact strength and rigidity as well as thermal stability and dimensional accuracy. The industry’s increased requirements on decoration are fulfilled by use of engineering sheets made of polycarbonate (Makrofol) and polycarbonate blends (Bayfol) (Fig. 5), among others. In the IMD (In Mould Decoration) procedure the printed sheets can be injected on the back side using the same material. Thus the print format is protected against scratching and abrasion and colour br...

... A showpiece part used by the Business Development experts and Lumitec to test the performance of the production methods is a vehicle heating/ventilation system control panel (Fig.4, title photo). It consists of Makrofol (PC) and Bayfol (PC+PBT) films, a transparent electrode made from the electrically conducting polymer Baytron poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly(styrenesulfonate), Noriphan HTR screen-printing inks from Pröll AG, which are based on the heat-resistant polycarbonate Apec HT, an...

The world's largest producers of PC and PC blended films are Bayer MaterialScience (Makrofol and Bayfol) and GE Structure Products (Lexan). A great deal of development work is currently being put into surface finishing of the films. For instance, efforts are being made to make them more resistant to scratching and mechanical loads with hard coats. Anothe...

In this functional elements are integrated into decorated surfaces based on Makrofol DE (PC) or Bayfol (PC blend) without them being permanently visible. By this means switches, controllers and displays can be accommodated in "concealed" fashion in a panel. They only appear when they are activated by finger pressure. At present d...

The investigations were initially carried out with film materials from BayerMaterialScience AG of type Makrofol DE 6-2 (PC) and Bayfol CR 6-2 (PC+PBT) in a thickness of 250µm. Films made of (PC+ABS) blend with the same layer thickness (type: Bayblend T65, manufacturer: BayerMaterialScience) were extruded by way of example. Defined specimens were then taken fro...

For instance, the covers of disposable cassettes for a new blood and fluid warming device are produced from Makrofol DE1-1 (Fig. 9). The film transmits infrared radiation. As a result, blood and other fluids can be heated quickly and gently in the cassettes with the aid of infrared heaters in order to introduce them to the patient at the correct te...

... the material classes previously offered, which are expensive to process. The starting material of the polymer is composed of network precursors and imaging components (Fig. 2). If it is applied thinly onto a carrier substrate, for example onto Makrofol polycarbonate film, a crosslinked film coating is formed in situ. When a hologram is exposed to the laser light, a photopolymerization reaction of the imaging components is initiated, which creates the holographic diffraction lattice or interfere...

These can be used both to render the LED light homogeneous (Fig. 6) and to reflect it. The Makrofol LM (Light Management) range contains a large number of products for both of these applications, and meets all light diffusion specifications commonly imposed on LED manufacture. Backlight units for flat monitors such as LCD screens are a particularly promising applicatio...
