Conductive two-component resin for shaped IML cores
In In-Mould Labelling, the electrostatic charge must be distributed so that the label is positioned accurately and held against the mould wall. With small or complex product shapes, a standard point electrode may not follow the geometry sufficiently.
IML Easycore from Simco-ION is a conductive two-component resin for manufacturing fixed, shaped IML cores. It allows the charge to be distributed through a surface matched to the product and label.
How Easycore is used
Easycore does not generate high voltage. The cured core must be connected to a compatible generator such as CMM (IQ) Easy. The generator voltage is transferred to the conductive core, which distributes the charge over the shaped surface.
Easycore is supplied as a two-component system containing resin and hardener. Once cured, the material can be drilled, ground and milled to the required dimensions. This makes it suitable for custom robot tooling and products with challenging geometries.
IML Spider is normally appropriate when the label must be charged directly through several flexible electrode points. Easycore is recommended when the charge must be distributed through a fixed and shaped conductive surface.
