Decorating processes

Gudenrath, W., Enameled Glass Vessels, 1425 BCE to 1800 the Decorating Process, Journal of Glass... 

After the glass plates have been cut to size, their edges are polished and provided with a decoration. This part of the process is not included in the figure. The decoration process involves ceramic dye which is applied under pressure and subsequently burned into the glass. After that the glass is ceramized, i.e. the crystal growth in the glass... 

The various antisera used to coat the grids can be used systematically (and separately) in the decoration process following this method. 

In contrast to that reported for NM/Ti02 catalysts (322,323), the decoration layers are usually crystalline. Moreover it is clear that the decoration process involves the migration of the support over the surface of the particles instead of the particle sinking inside the support. 

For isomer counting, the problem to be solved is to determine the number of distinct isomers corresponding to decoration of atoms in a parent molecule. Substitution of an atom by another isotope of the same element or by a different chemical species, addition of a structureless ligand or functional group oriented so as to preserve the local site symmetry, all are to be treated as aspects of the same decoration process. 

What is the pack competing with What is the predominant issue—size impression, stability, confidence in handling by salesman or user( ) or appearance How important is the label area compared with product visibility Can a decorative process be employed rather than labelling ... 

A summary of the main decoration processes is given in Table 16.1. 

This is now used as a decorative process to prevent counterfeiting. Currently showing a steady increase in use. For more detail see Chapter 5. 

Although decoration of paper and board is well covered by the literature, general understanding of the wider issues involved with other materials has frequently been poor. This particularly applies when artwork is produced which although reproducible on paper or board, is unsatisfactory in terms of the printing/decoration processes available for another material. 

Currently, multiple-component, internal gas-assisted and decorative processes are being used more and more frequently in combination with thin-wall techniques. A good example of this is the trend to highly individualized cell phone designs. Decorative processes such as inmold decoration or insertion of preformed, printed foils makes variable coloration of even small run volumes possible. The internal gas-assisted method is used for example to reduce the mass of thick-walled parts and to avoid sink marks minimization of warpage is thus a primary requirement for thin-walled parts. A wide variety of functions can be realized by means of the multiple-component technique, including seals, napped surfaces, improved antishp properties and functional elements, some of which are now still being mounted in complex and expensive additional steps. 

An enclosure used to prepare parts for their next step in the assembly or decorating process. Parts can be stress relieved, humidity or moisture conditioned, or impregnated with another element. 

Typical gates for fascia moldings include submarine gating into a protruded tab which is formed as part of the ejector system. The tab is then left on after ejection for use as location points for further decorative processes. Upon completion of decorative processes (i.e. silk screening, painting, etc.) the tabs can be broken off or left as part of the final product. 

Second-surface decorating n. A decorating process used with transparent plastics in which the decoration is applied to the back of the part so that it is visible from... 

Spray-and-wipe painting (fill-in marking) n. A decorating process for articles with depressed letters, figures, or designs. A lacquer or enamel is applied by spraying either the article s entire surface or a... 

Vacuum metalizing n. (1) A decorating process used to make plastic objects resemble shiny metals by depositing very small thicknesses of metals on plastics and films. The... 

This section will discuss common decorative processes that are generally used with plastic parts. The most widely used decorating processes in the plastic industry are... 

Several decorating processes use heat to transfer a decoration or a printed image to the plastic part surface. These techniques usually use a carrier element, the decorative media, and an adhesive. In certain...
