Special Injection Molding: The Power of Openair-Plasma® for Superior Adhesion

The demands on the production of plastic parts are increasing, with the need to integrate functions in fewer process steps and to combine different materials. Traditional methods such as multi-component injection molding often reach their limits when materials have incompatible surface energies or melting temperatures. At the same time, manufacturers are under pressure to reduce their carbon footprint by switching to polyolefins and recycled materials - a shift that changes surface properties and complicates downstream processes such as bonding, painting or coating.

Join us for our upcoming PlasmaTalk "Special Injection Molding: The Power of Openair-Plasma^® for Superior Adhesion" on November 12th, 2024 and discover how innovative Openair-Plasma^® technology effectively addresses these challenges.

What to Expect:
In this PlasmaTalk, Erhard Krampe, Plastics Engineer and Head of the Plasmatreat Academy at Plasmatreat, will demonstrate practical solutions, showcasing how Openair-Plasma^® is successfully applied in plastic processing and injection molding. Johanna Hausman, Research Associate at Neue Materialien Bayreuth, will then provide a detailed overview of the polyurethane in-mold coating process and explain how Openair-Plasma^® significantly improves adhesion on polypropylene (PP).

Topics Covered:

• Interaction of Openair-Plasma^® with various polymer materials
• Detailed process description of polyurethane coating in injection molding
• The motivation behind using polypropylene as a technical substrate
• Influence of Openair-Plasma^® process parameters on PP-PUR adhesion

Take this opportunity to gain valuable insights into the benefits of these cutting-edge technologies and expand your knowledge.
