PROCESS FOR MAKING A PLASTIC MOULDED ARTICLE WITH A DECORATED SURFACE

摘要

The invention relates to a process for making a plastic moulded article with a decorated surface, comprising the steps of introducing a decorated film in a mould and filling the mould with a plastic composition by means of injection moulding, with the decorated film comprising at least a thermoplastic elastomer containing polyether segments. Advantages of this process are amongst other things that a 3-dimensional (3-D) decorated moulded article may be made with the film adequately adhering to the plastic composition, that applied decorations have little effect on adhesion, and that the moulded article can also be provided with a surface with soft-touch and/or non-slip properties. The invention also relates to a plastic moulded article with a decorated surface and to a decorated plastic moulded article that is further provided with laser markings.
