The demands placed on automotive components are constantly increasing - from headlights and glass roofs to rearview cameras, sensors and trim strips. New materials and combinations, functional design, aesthetic requirements, and long-term stable performance must work together perfectly. At the same time, environmental issues such as the use of recycled materials or the reduction of CO₂ and VOCs are becoming increasingly important for manufacturers

In this PlasmaTalk, you will learn how Openair-Plasma® technology is used in the reliable pretreatment of exterior automotive components.

Whether it is the ultra-fine cleaning of aluminum frames for the tight bonding of glass roofs, the activation of plastic surfaces for weatherproof coating adhesion on door handles or fenders, the long-term stable bonding of sensors or trim strips, or the functional protective coating through nanocoating in the PlasmaPlus® process, e.g. for anticorrosion protection or as environmentally friendly adhesion promoter. In conclusion, the plasma technology enables long-term stable bonds, high-quality surfaces, and safe processing, even with demanding or recycled materials.

Look forward to: 

Our expert Jeff Leighty will give you an insight into Openair-Plasma® and PlasmaPlus® technology, by presenting current trends like In-Mold coating (IMC), and showing practical examples from the automotive industry. You will also learn how to break new ground in surface modification with plasma treatment - environmentally friendly and industrially efficient.

Why you should attend:

  • Learn about new applications of plasma technology for automotive exteriors
  • Special excursion into In-Mold coating- PUR overflow coating of plastic components
  • Discover how to improve the performance and durability of your parts
  • Explore solutions for processing recycled or heterogeneous components.
