Modern headlights using LED technology last for the lifetime of the vehicle, thus eliminating the need to change bulbs. To ensure this longevity, they must be effectively protected to keep all moisture out. When bonding headlights and tail lights made of polypropylene (PP) and polycarbonate (PC), the adhesive must therefore have excellent sealing properties as well as providing reliable adhesion.
Precise localized pretreatment with Openair® Plasma activates the non-polar materials in all critical areas, ensuring reliable bonding and long-term sealing of the headlights.
Openair® Plasma pretreatment of headlights is one of the most successful industrial applications of plasma technology. Headlight manufacturing would be unthinkable today without this technique.All leading manufacturers of headlights use Plasmatreat’s Openair® Plasma technology.

Plasmatreat constantly faces shifting demands as a result of new ideas, regulations, and standards. Customers are increasingly approaching the company with unique and innovative project requests. Consequently, the capacities of the technology and research center will now be expanded to include a class-6 cleanroom.
Plasmatreat supports digitized manufacturing with its Plasma Control Unit (PCU) and makes numerous controls, regulation, and monitoring functions available to ensure consistently high surface-treatment quality and reproducibility.
VOCs occur when solvents and solvent-containing products are used, and they are harmful to the environment. Nevertheless, manufacturing in many industries still involves pre-treating surfaces with primers, bonding agents or other chemicals that release VOCs. With its Openair-Plasma process, Plasmatreat offers an environmentally friendly alternative.
In addition to the Openair-Plasma Systems for surface treatment Plasmatreat GmbH also offers individual production cells with automated solutions to ensure seamless integration in the production lines. Plasma Treatment Units (PTU) are tailored to the customer's technical processes and are equipped with various operating options. Here Plasmatreat offers the solution of coordinated process automation combining efficient surface treatment and a perfectly coordinated handling of assemblies and components.
Plasmatreat plans to get more involved in the disinfection industry by providing solutions for disinfecting protective clothing during the current corona crisis.
