Painted, Laser-Marked, and Decaled Products for DUCATI

In the world of technical plastics, surface quality is not just an aesthetic factor—it’s a critical element for the durability, functionality, and effectiveness of final products. This is especially true for components in the automotive, electronics, and other industrial sectors, where surfaces need to be visually flawless while also providing internal strength and resilience over time.

The Challenge
Our clients often approach us seeking components with smooth, flawless surfaces, featuring aesthetically impeccable and long-lasting finishes. Their requests typically include minimizing surface roughness and visible imperfections while ensuring precise and durable application of logos and graphics.

The MPT Plastica Solution: Advanced Processes and Tailored Customization

To meet these demands, MPT Plastica has implemented a combination of cutting-edge technologies and specialized processes, ensuring superior quality finishes that meet the highest aesthetic standards while offering exceptional durability.

  1. Advanced Painting
    MPT Plastica has developed advanced painting processes to achieve smooth, uniform, and highly durable surfaces. These include the use of coatings resistant to weather, scratching, and wear, even under extreme conditions such as temperature fluctuations, humidity, and mechanical stress. These surfaces not only maintain their aesthetic appeal but also ensure long-term performance of the components.
  2. High-Precision Laser Marking
    For components requiring permanent and professional identification, especially those that are delicate or complex, we’ve implemented laser marking processes. This technique ensures durable markings that withstand heavy use and harsh conditions—something traditional printing methods cannot achieve.
  3. Precision Decal Application
    When it comes to applying logos or graphics to components, MPT Plastica employs high-precision decal processes. These solutions ensure extremely accurate and permanent applications, providing the precision necessary for flawless visuals without leaving room for errors.

MOTORMOTIVE Components

Here are two examples of high-quality components we manufactured for DUCATI:

  1. Fuel Tank Cover in ABS PA-GF8
    This component underwent an advanced painting process with a transparent decal application for added durability and aesthetic appeal. Additionally, a metal mesh was incorporated using ultrasonic welding, ensuring enhanced robustness and stability. The result is a uniformly finished, visually flawless product capable of withstanding the demanding conditions typical of high-performance motorcycles.
  2. Front Upper Tank Cover in ABS-PA
    After injection molding, this component was laser-marked in black to ensure a uniform and lasting finish. A brass bushing was then mounted to enhance structural strength, followed by the application of a tricolor decal featuring the “696” emblem. This distinctive detail adds a unique design element. The finished part is delivered ready for assembly on the motorcycle, meeting the highest quality standards required by the client.
