tire then undergoes vulcanization producing a finished tire containing a permanent label providing tire ownership information and serialization for tracking the tire during the remaining manufacturing steps and as part of a tire inventory throughout its useful life the tire with label attached undergoes temperature and flexure testing to simulate on the road conditions and the label remains intact the label is cleaned using gasoline and typical solvents such as toluene heptane and methyl ethyl ketone and it shows no degradation of the image with the barcode remaining readable using automatic barcode reading equipment this example demonstrates the capability of the invention to place a permanent and durable in mold decoration onto a part in a thermosetting process the product provides the tire owner with increased security against theft of his tires and a method of tracking the use and recapping of the tire throughout its useful life the cross hatch cutting has resulted in a label that flexes but does not permanently deform in extreme flexure with the tire while in use a sheet of ppg industries mist u00ae seven mil thick material is gravure with a wood grain pattern and coated with gra c501 coating a piece of this sheet is placed onto the core surface of an unmodified mold designed to make a refrigerator ice tray and is treated electrostatically to hold it in place the mold is closed and a part is injection molded using abs plastic the molding process produces an abs ice tray with a wood grain finish using a polyolefin printed sheet the test demonstrates the capability of the invention in molding of dissimilar materials and the ability to hold an in mold graphic sheet on the core of an injection mold where it is subjected to the most tortuous forces.
