Openair® Plasma pretreatment – for reliable coating and flock coating of EPDM profiles
EPDM
door seals perform
two important functions: they act as weatherstrips and reduce the
noise level perceived in the vehicle interior. Automobile door seals
require specialty surface finishes to make sure that dirt particles
will not adhere to them. However, getting a functional coating
(anti-friction or flock coating) to adhere during the extrusion
process is no easy task.
In
the past, EPDM profiles had to be roughened continuously by means of
rotating wire brushes – a complicated process with unpredictable
results.
