Glossiness is typically divided into the following three categories achieved by sandblasting the mold surface:
A. Gloss (High reflection)
B. Semi-gloss (Satin finish)
C. Matt (Low reflection / Dull)
Yes. By using sandblasting processes in gloss level control in mold texturing with different grit ratios in the later stages, the matteness of the surface can be adjusted within a certain range to achieve the desired feel and appearance for the customer.
Yes. We use high gloss mold etching process and first perform high-magnification mirror polishing on the mold, and then use a laser to selectively engrave micro-textures in specific areas. This strong light / matte visual contrast can significantly enhance the product’s brand image.
Note: The final glossiness of plastic parts depends not only on the mold surface finish but also on the material properties and the adjustment of temperature and pressure during the injection trials.
