PROCESS FOR PRODUCING A PLASTIC MIRROR, ESPECIALLY AS A COMPONENT OF A COMPACT FOR COSMETIC PRODUCTS

摘要

In a process for producing a plastic mirror, especially as a component of a compact for cosmetic products, in which a plastic substrate with a bubble-free, plane, highly reflective surface is injection moulded in injection moulding tools, then coated by vapour deposition with a metal coating which is coated with a protective lacquer, the protective lacquer used being a u/v-dried protective lacquer. The injection moulding, vapour deposition, protective lacquering and drying processes are all performed in clean room conditions. Here, the particle concentration should preferably not exceed 1,000 particles per cubic metre. The substrate may be moved from the injection moulding tools via the individual processing stations by means of handling devices. The protective lacquer may be applied to the substrate in finely divided form. During this process the substrate may be rotated about an axis lying outside it.
