ENGEL clearmelt

PURe quality. With a 3D effect. No scratches.

Scratch-proof, high quality surfaces combined with 3D effects that visibly impress. Thanks to ENGEL's innovative clearmelt method, decor parts with these characteristics can now be produced in a time-saving, economic and highly productive manner. Sliding table technology floods a thermoplastic carrier with transparent polyurethane.

ENGEL clearmelt. A flood of benefits.
Compared to legacy methods, the required level of scratch resilience and 3D effect is achieved with thin coatings using the ENGEL clearmelt approach. Compared with coating systems, this means substantial material, time and emission savings. Time-consuming and expensive multiple coating techniques, which also produce a high level of rejects, are incapable of producing an attractive 3D effect below a coating thickness of 0.5 mm.

In contrast to this, ENGEL clearmelt achieves visually impressive effects on decor parts using back-injected foils as a carrier. This makes panels in vehicle interiors real eye catchers. And: This technology might shed new light on the world of switches in the future. The reason for this is that ENGEL clearmelt also supports overlaid carriers with integrated circuits which are comprehensively protected by a layer of PUR sufficiently thin to support easy actuation.
