Case Study – BPF

Rotational moulding is a process that has enabled the plastics industry to manufacture a wide range of products that were not previously made or they were done with laborious methods and at low speeds.

Most prominent materials are polyolefins, such as polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP). The modification of a polyolefin surface is a challenge, because of its low surface energies. It has been a long-time demand in the market to be able to permanently mark, brand or coat a moulding while adding value and functionality to the final product.

Together with our Tesoplas product range for rotational moulding processes, we have developed revolutionary technologies that enable the direct graphics application onto polyolefins.

These can be applied via various methods such as coating, stencilling, screen printing, stamping or just brush painting.

In this case decorative or even functional coatings can be introduced to the mouldings. Examples are light-blocking, antimicrobial, antistatic, etc.
The ink can be colour-matched and is characterized by its high UV resistance as well as by its long shelf-life as it is a solvent free system.
This ink system is applied onto the final product after the moulding process has taken place. In this way, a greater flexibility regarding operational set-up is realized as the moulder or its customer can prepare the final appearance of the moulding as and when it is needed.

Some of the ways to achieve that are shown in the following pictures:
-graphics made with screen printing

-coatings applied with gloss roller

-graphics made with gloss roller and multi-use stencil

-graphics created with gloss roller and single use stencil

-Multicolour graphics

The herein described technology represents an alternative to label systems.
The post mould decoration process using ink systems has the following benefits:

-Permanent graphics, since the graphic is encapsulated within the moulding.
-Colour matched
-Economical, since there is no minimum order quantities
-High quality graphics
-Long shelf-life
-Easy & Flexible application
-Safe, as ink is solvent free
-Short lead times

“As a new start company, Bottle Decoration Solutions needed to quickly find reliable suppliers for a range of bottle decoration materials, primarily and fundamentally inks and lacquers. Good strong and reliable technical advice plus high quality products is a major requirement for BDS. Lysis supplies both.

Flexibility and turnaround of materials, particularly in the area of supplying samples is an area where Lysis Technologies really excels, in most cases supplying samples within 24 / 48 hours, and following up with orders in the same timescales.
The ability to contact Lysis at any time and day of the week is extremely valuable to BDS due to the fast pace and demanding delivery schedules of our customer base and we have not been left wanting in any area of service support from Ramin and his team.
BDS now regards Lysis Technologies as our first choice supplier for our ongoing technical support and supply of printing ink technology.

I would recommend Lysis Technologies unreservedly to any company seeking a quality printing materials supplier with the added advantage of excellent technical backup when needed.”
