In Mold Decoration (IMD) and Out Mold Decoration (OMD) process enables the decoration for not only plastic products but also glasses and many other materials. In the pursuit of an eco-friendly environment, Compo-SiL^® silicone-based vegan leather provides a variety of decorative appearance and tactile effects, as a new highly durable material choice and a replacement for thermoplastic film.

IMD/OMD Industrial Applications

IMD and OMD process are widely used in almost every industry. Here are some examples for the applications:

● Automobile industry: Interior decoration

● 3C product: Phone case, mouse, AR/VR glasses, phone, TV, laptop, home appliances panel, etc.

● Medical equipment: EEG, ECG equipment, hospital beds, etc.

Smart touch switch application have come to occupy increasingly important roles in everyone’s lives, from the supermarket to the kitchen, the school to the car. People use these smart touch switch devices for all manner of tasks and enhanced work efficiency.

A touch switch is a type of switch that only has to be touched by an object to operate. It is used in many lamps and wall switches that have a metal exterior as well as on public computer terminals. Now, Compo-SiL^® is successfully bound to touch switch interfaces. It will be in products and devices as various as automotive dashboards to provide new means of interaction and control.

With the continuous advancement in technology along with civil, marine, railway, and aviation engineering, modern
transportation has become faster, more comfortable, reliable, and efficient. It has not only increased the flow of passengers
worldwide but also raised their expectations in terms of health, comfort, and security, which eventually demands the materials
to perform better. Compo-SiL^® based silicone products can be seen as modern futuristic raw materials for the transportation
industries, and could help lengthen the lifetime of the vehicles. Because it has already been proven to be an apt material with
properties like high durability, non toxicity, flame retardant, and resistance to UV rays, ozone, extreme temperature variations,
particular chemicals, and moisture. As silicone parts and products are relatively light weight, thus contribute to vehicle weight
reduction, which results in enhancing fuel efficiency and lowering pollutants emissions (mainly CO2).

By medical technology developing, the range of healthcare and baby care application innovation rise substantially. People severe concern and is continuously rising pressure on hospitals to find, better, innovative, sustainable and human-friendly solutions. Now, silicone material Compo-SiL^® comes with various benefits along with great properties. Silicones wonderful antimicrobial and chemical resistance properties make them a perfect fit for the healthcare and baby care industry.

For the purpose of protecting our earth and our animal friends, the fashion industry calls for sustainable and cruelty-free movement by using eco-friendly material. Compo-SiL^® silicone vegan leather is one of the eco-friendly materials for vegan handbags, and other consumer products. With Compo-SiL^®’s customized texture and color options, designers can have infinite design creativity.

Silicone is one of the material of choice, and widely recognized in large scale application industries like health care,
electronics, automotive, aerospace, industrial assembly, construction, textile, consumer, etc. However, there was a long-time
key problem with cured silicone surface showing high inertness to bind with any other functional materials, except for using
adhesive or plasma bonding.

Following an extensive research and innovative patented technology, General Silicones has solved the key problem
mentioned by developing Compo-SiL^® substrate, which provides a dual solution for printability and laminability at a same time.
Compo-SiL^® is an innovative substrate with diverse applications that having silicone along with a printable and laminable.
