Molded-in decorative effects are commonly used in thermoset moldings (e.g., boats, spas, eyeglass frames). Recently molded-in speckle and fiber decorative effects have been molded into thermoplastics for appliances and housewares. These rely upon dispersed particles (flake, metallized films, fibers) to provide the decorative effect. Techniques to maximize concentration of the decorative material near the surface and to control the dispersion have been facilitated by the improvement of injection molding process control systems. The application of decorative effects to a broader range of auto interior surfaces is encouraging the evaluation of molded-in decorative effects, especially in noncarpet, TPO flooring where more randomized designs are acceptable.
