SELECTIVELY CONTROLLING IN-MOLD COATING FLOW INCLUDING INLET FLOW CONTROL AND REMOVABLE CONTAINMENT FLANGE

摘要

Molded articles or substrates having an in-mold coating thereon are disclosed. The in-mold coated substrates are produced by a method wherein the flow of the in-mold composition onto the substrate can be selectively controlled. The molded articles can be preferentially coated in desired or predetermined areas with in-mold coating compositions by controlling the thickness or depth of various sections of the substrate.
