Plasma for Automobile Manufacturing

The automotive industry relies on robust, finely tuned processes. These are a basic precondition for achieving consistently high quality. At the same time, durable adhesive bonds and the use of advanced materials are major production parameters when manufacturing parts with complex shapes. Openair-Plasma® treatment meets the tough requirements of the automotive industry like no other pretreatment technology and is therefore firmly established in a variety of production processes at leading manufacturers.

In addition to the atmospheric in-line technology, Plasmatreat's low-pressure processes (Aurora) offer additional opportunities to meet the high quality requirements of the automotive industry.

Headlights

Openair‑Plasma® increases adhesion in headlights, ensures long-term sealing, and reduces production costs.

EDPM Profiles

Openair‑Plasma® efficiently activates EPDM profiles, improves coating adhesion, and enables VOC‑free processes in automotive manufacturing.

Car Interior Parts

From fittings and door panels to side panels, Openair-Plasma® ensures precise activation of large plastic interior elements and enables high-quality, durable coatings.

Electromobility

Openair-Plasma® activation, combined with a PlasmaPlus® functional coating, offers industry a unique process, with outstanding results for improving drive and storage systems.

Car Exterior Parts

The activation and cleaning of complex exterior components in automotive engineering using Openair Plasma® enables secure bonding and high-quality surfaces. 

Windshields

For reliable and automated windshield bonding, Openair‑Plasma® enables solvent-free activation of glass‑ceramic edges.

Powertrain and Engine Electronics

In the field of drive and motor electronics, Openair-Plasma® ensures precise cleaning, automated pretreatment, and durable corrosion and oil seals in complex automotive housings.

The start of our cooperation with HELLA 30 years ago was a milestone for Plasmatreat: with the first application of Openair-Plasma® for surface treatment prior to the bonding of headlight housings, we laid the foundation for the industrial use of this innovative technology. Today, atmospheric-pressure plasma is an integral part of modern manufacturing processes. In the future, this technology will continue to play a key role in enabling high-performance manufacturing processes and thus the sustainable and efficient production of products.
