Application & Solutions

• Improving Bonding

Pre-treatment with Keylink Plasma Surface Treatment Systems increase the adhesion between an adhesive and a base material. It increases the peel and shear in the joint between the adhesive and the base material.

• Improving Painting

Plasma pre-treatment of base materials to optimize paint adhesion is an excellent way of plasma activation. Increasing the adhesion between a material with low surface energy and a paint without the use of a primer or adhesion promoters is a significant and an environmentally friendly improvement in the manufacturing strategy.

• Improving Coating and Durability

Pre-treatment is also recommended to be applied if a coating, ink, or dye is used in material that exhibits poor performance. Using pre-treatment with plasma on these types of processes increases the material properties of these coatings and improves the durability of the coating performance.
