Exploit the knowledge of our World Class technology

experts to help your project. Come to us early, and we will

help design your tooling and provide product suggestions to

help make your project a success. OMNOVAs patent

pending flow modeling technology (shown above), can

predict the performance of an in-mold coating on your

specific substrate and process before

any tool steel is cut.

Our lab has full sized production presses

to test coatings and molds.

Our Partnering Philosophy: Not Just Talk

It seems like every supplier these days wants to be your partner.

At OMNOVA we really mean it. We provide our customers:

Extensive pre-engineering support, employing a comprehensive view ofyour entire process (Including flow modeling and tool design)

Ongoing on-site technical support at your plant to optimize your process

Guidance in meeting quality issues, including painting

Advocacy for the molding industry. It is in both of our interests to helpmolders prosper with a viable, environmentally responsible industry

For maximum benefit, get us involved early in your project. Well work

with the molder, mold maker and OEM to provide the very best results.

The absence of solvents makes it an environmentally

preferred green process. Since the coatings are

incorporated during the compression molding process

instead of being applied separately and do not contain

solvents (100% solids), they reduce the number of

surface finishing steps and cost in manufacturing

while being environmentally friendly.

Our in-mold coatings are formulated

to improve and enhance the surface

quality of SMC moldings. Shown is a standard automotive

test designed to demonstrate in-mold coating adhesion

performance on SMC.

In-Mold Coatings from OMNOVA:The VOC-Free Primers for Compression Molding

Surface appearance is often an important requirement in compression

molded sheet molding compound (SMC) panels. To achieve this objective

the standard practice is to in-mold coat (IMC) the parts. In-mold coatings

are liquid materials that are integrated into the compression molding

manufacturing process of SMC components for automotive, transportation

and marine applications. These coatings are designed to improve the

surface quality of SMC moldings in functional and cosmetic parts and

enhance the surface of the part when used as a primer.

Our coatings function as substrate porosity fillers and surface sealers,

providing a uniform surface that:

reduces or eliminates fiber read through

levels low and high spots

enhances DOI

eliminates orange peel

provides a solvent/moisture barrier

These residential doors provide

woodgrain appearance and

will never need painting!

Hard-working skins made with

our IMC materials have opened

a new market for our customer.

Working with our customer,

we helped develop a no-slide

molded surface for food service

trays, providing a unique

competitive

feature.

Where can your imagination and our technical

expertise take your product? Here are a few of

our more recent successes.
