METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING A HOUSING ELEMENT HAVING A DECORATIVE COVERING AND A GRIP LAYER

A housing element (1) of a product comprises a foil (30) having a decorated side, wherein this side of the foil (30) is covered by a grip layer (20) for realizing a grip effect, and wherein another side of the foil (30) is covered by a supportive layer. Preferably, the grip layer (20) has a rib stru...

Zusammenfassung:A housing element (1) of a product comprises a foil (30) having a decorated side, wherein this side of the foil (30) is covered by a grip layer (20) for realizing a grip effect, and wherein another side of the foil (30) is covered by a supportive layer. Preferably, the grip layer (20) has a rib structure. In a preferred way of manufacturing the housing 5 element (1), each of the supportive layer and the grip layer (20) is applied to the foil (30) in an injection molding process. A processing temperature of the material of the grip layer (20) is significantly lower than an activation temperature of printing ink of a decorative covering of the foil (30), so that washout of the printing ink is prevented, whereas material of an adhesive layer of the foil (30) is adapted to establish adhesion to the material of the grip layer 10 (20) at this relatively low temperature.
