SURFACE ACTIVATION

Surface activation of silicone

To improve the adhesion of coatings on silicone surfaces, we increase the surface energy of the components using an activation process. Bonds on the silicone surface are broken and functional oxygen groups are formed. The result is particularly good adhesion of paints, adhesives and other coatings to the component surface.

The properties of the activation process

  • Long-term stability for further processing – e.g. bonding at the customer’s premises – even after months
  • Perfectly coordinated with our coating systems for optimum, permanent adhesion
  • bonding silicone with PMMA buttons

Optimum pre-treatment for the highest demands

The pre-treatment of silicone moulded parts with Silcos’ proprietary technology is the key to realising a wide range of applications with the highest demands on function and durability.

You can rely on our many years of experience in the field of material preparation. We select the optimum pre-treatment process for your project in relation to your requirements and the stability of the production processes.
