The challenge

The surface challenge

Bonded composite structures require a perfectly prepared surface. A trace of residual mould release agent or a surface energy that is too low, and the joint loses performance. In this sector, process repeatability matters as much as the result.

Atmospheric plasma delivers controlled, documentable surface activation, with no aggressive abrasion and no solvent. It fits naturally into a process qualification approach.
