Frequently Asked Questions

What is IML suitable coating?

IML suitable coating is a coating formulated to perform in in-mold label applications, where the label becomes an integral part of an injection-molded container. TWGW1010 is a matt water-based coating suited to the demanding requirements of the IML process.

What is in-mold labeling?

In-mold labeling (IML) is a process where a printed label is placed in the mold before injection molding. The molten plastic fuses with the label, creating a container with an integrated, durable label in a single process.

Why does IML need a special coating?

IML labels must withstand the heat and pressure of injection molding while maintaining their finish. IML suitable coatings like TWGW1010 are formulated to perform reliably through this process while delivering the required matt appearance.

Is TWGW1010 water-based?

Yes. TWGW1010 is a water-based coating, offering an environmentally responsible matt finishing option with lower VOC emissions for IML applications.
