Create Revolutionary Electronics Designs with Best-in-Class IME Materials

In-Mold-Electronics (IME) is a revolutionary new way of integrating electronics into plastics. It opens up immense possibilities for product designers and electronics manufactures to create 3D contoured smart electronic surfaces. IME enables the production of ergonomic, lightweight and durable parts through cost-effective manufacturing processes requiring less assembly and fewer moving parts.

As a long-time supplier into In-Mold Decoration (IMD) and Film-Insert Molding (FIM) applications, Sun Chemical is well positioned within the value chain for appliances, automotive, industrial and medical electronics markets. With the new generation of Sun Chemical’s IME electronic inks, you can now integrate touch switches and lighting into IMD/FIM applications using the best-in-class electronic materials that can withstand even the harshest conditions of the injection molding process.
