Accelerate Automotive Performance: KeyLink Plasma Treatment for Superior Bonding & Durability
Partner with KeyLink for high-performance plasma solutions, enhancing adhesion for durable vehicle components. Automotive manufacturers face low surface energy challenges in materials. Our surface treatments increase surface energy, promoting superior plasma adhesion for bonding material, coatings, and paints. Applying plasma treatment in the automotive industry significantly improves quality and reduces costs.
KeyLink offers comprehensive plasma treatment applications tailored for diverse automotive components, ensuring robust and lasting performance.
Our solutions are ideal for car headlight treatment before bonding, especially for polymeric headlights made of polycarbonate or acrylic. Plasma pretreatment cleans and activates the surface, removing contaminants like oils, release agents, or dust, and creating reactive sites for better plasma bonding. This process enhances chemical compatibility between materials and adhesives, and significantly improves wettability, allowing adhesives to spread evenly and form stronger bonds. Notably, this often reduces the need for additional chemical primers, simplifying the bonding process.
For car window lift control switch cover frames, typically made of ABS or PP, our plastic surface treatment before spraying offers enhanced adhesive coating. This removes contaminants like oils, dust, and oxidation layers, and activates the surface by introducing polar functional groups, leading to improved wettability and chemical bonding with paints. The result is reduced peeling & flaking, improved coating uniformity, and elimination of surface defects like orange peel effect.
For hydrophobic PBT connectors or switches, KeyLink’s automotive plasma cleaning significantly improves adhesion before inkjet, pad, or screen printing. It effectively removes organic contaminants and modifies surface chemistry to increase surface energy, making the material more hydrophilic. This ensures enhanced ink adhesion, improved print quality with better definition, and reduced material waste.
Our plasma modification capabilities extend to cleaning and activating complex multi-materials for car exterior parts like plastic bumpers. We also address durable and corrosion-resistant sealing for powertrain/engine electronics, improve adhesion for rubber seals and gaskets, and enhance electrical performance and safety of battery components in electromobility systems. For 3D geometries, we recommend using rotating or multi-nozzle heads. KeyLink systems have been successfully implemented at a well-known Chinese Brand Car Company for applications like switch frame treatment.
