US Patent 7875224 Method for producing a coated composite component

In a method for producing a coated composite component, an injection-molded part is produced in a first cycle by introducing a melt into the cavity of a first mold. A polyurethane layer is then applied to the cavity surface of an open polyurethane mold half. The mold half with the injection molded part produced in the first cycle is associated with the polyurethane mold half, and the so formed second mold is closed. The polyurethane layer is pressed or embossed onto the injection-molded part in the second mold, and the coated injection-molded part is removed once the second mold has been opened.
