Permanent decoration for polyolefn injection molded parts

Polyfuze Graphics Corp., Clarkdale, Ariz. Is the very recent spin-of of Mold In Graphic Systems (MIGS), which initially developed permanent graphics suited for rotationally molded polyethylene (PE) parts. MIGS started with in-mold graphics before moving to a version applied post-mold. The differences between Polyfuze and heat transfer or hot stamping, despite using the same equipment, do not end there. Polyfuze is a high-heat/low-pressure process. The machine is set to 550 F to achieve a temperature of 450 F at the die face. Polyfuze then needs only about 75 psi of pressure to decorate a part, versus roughly 500 psi for heat transfer and 400 psi for hot stamping.
