PlasmaPlus^® Jet and Process Control Technologies for Improving Adhesion in Bonding Processes

Today, industrial companies are under growing pressure to make bonding processes more sustainable, safer, and at the same time more cost-effective. Stricter environmental regulations, rising demands for product quality, and the desire for reproducible inline processes are increasingly calling into question many traditional pretreatment and bonding methods. In particular, the use of solvent-based primers involves significant effort in production, transport, storage, handling, and disposal, and can place an additional burden on the environment and human health. 

This is exactly where Plasmatreat’s PlasmaPlus^® comes in. This plasma-assisted nanocoating technology specifically enhances surface properties and lays the foundation for high-performance, stable, and durable adhesive bonds. Instead of using additional chemical bonding agents, the surface is selectively functionalized and precisely tailored to the requirements of the specific bonding process. 

In this PlasmaTalk, Klaus Kresser, Global Market Segment Manager for Bonding Applications at Plasmatreat, explains how modern PlasmaPlus^® technologies can transform today’s bonding processes. The focus is on PT-Bond, a specialized feature within PlasmaPlus^® technology designed to improve adhesion for plastics, metals, and glass. 

It shows how static and rotating coating nozzles are used to implement solvent-free inline processes for surface activation and adhesion enhancement. Additionally, participants gain insights into modern process control and monitoring technologies, which support stable and reproducible coating processes.
