DuraTech Industries Inc. announced its first commercial production of In-Mold Electronics (IME).

IME combines all of the benefits of In-Mold Decorating with printed, conductive inks, creating a unique solution to user experiences.

Watlow, a global supplier of industrial electric thermal solutions, successfully applied DuraTech’s IME technology to the design and production of its new industrial controller, the Watlow PM Plus.

The Watlow PM Plus is an improved version of Watlow’s EZ-ZONE PM controller.

Because of DuraTech’s In-Mold Electronics technology, Watlow’s PM Plus is now more intuitive and features an enhanced interface for easier programming and readability with a smooth touch keypad, replacing legacy rubber buttons.

The PM Plus reduces the complexity at the front of the control while eliminating the dependency of cables when configuring the product.

“DuraTech is proud to help Watlow become an early adopter of In-Mold Electronics,” said Paul Hatlem, DuraTech’s sales manager. “DuraTech is one of the first companies worldwide producing this exciting new technology that embeds the circuits between layers of plastic to protect them from the environment, reduce weight and size while improving reliability. The form, fit and function requirements of Watlow’s controller made IME a perfect solution.”
