Abstract
In a method for injection molding molten materials, especially plastic, in a mold that has a mold surface which comes into contact with the material, at least one coating on the mold surface and a temperature-control means for the mold surface, the mold surface is cooled by the temperature-control means so that the molten material solidifies at the interface with the coating and an injection-molded part can be removed from the form. During this process the molten material is brought into contact with the coating on the mold surface, the thickness of said coating being selected in coordination with the heat penetration coefficient of the coating material such that a specified 60° gloss level and/or color value L is obtained for the injection-molded part.
