Depending on the coating film technology, the application processes differ:
The Transferfilm is applied by so-called laminating in an extrusion process. In this process, the film is fixed to the desired surface by a melt. On the other hand, the Decorative Film is applied to the component using a hot-melt adhesive process.
The situation is different with paint films for individualization. The Self-adhesive Decorative Film is a self-adhesive coating film that is applied to the component with a squeegee and an application aid. An automated process is in development. The Transferbasecoat technology uses a specially developed and automated applicator process.
