Q1: We are a Tier 1 supplier of plastics to GM and have been requested to install warning labels on the exterior wall of an injected visor. GM has requested a label molded into the plastic as opposed to engraving or glue…do you know of this process? Adhesive and heated labels wear off over time?
A1: Basilius Plastics recently conducted a trial on a new “in-the-mold” label, which combines with the molded plastic part when heated. The end result is a label that won’t peel or fade. The label process combines at the molecular level to become part of the plastic with no apparent label lines or marks on the surface…available in any finish from glossy to matte.

Q2: Our customers require all E-coated stampings adhere to the new GM-Hex Free requirements. Does your E-coater meet the new specs?
A2: Yes, the new requirements are part of the new EPA push towards environmental friendly coatings which went into effect last year.

Q3: We have a GM fuel bracket which requires Plastisol Coating, however, we don't need the entire part coated. Can you provide partially dipped, or angled dipped parts? Is dipping less expensive than powder coating?
A3: ISP currently coats fuel brackets for major fluid handling OEM's and we can design inexpensive tooling to meet the various angles specified, or partially coat a bracket or part. Compared to powder coat or E-coat, ISP's dipping process can save 25-40%.
