Applications

Plastics

Aim : ensure good adhesion of the subsequent process like gluing, painting,... by increasing the surface energy of the plastics
Applications : Pretreatment before flocking of automotive parts and pretreatment before gluing of consumer electronics parts such as head sets, laptops, ….

Aim : protect the parts from wearing, allow dry running (without lubricants) and improved cleaning of residue after use
Applications : on mold components such as ejectors, sliders, blow mold halves, stampers, centering pins, thread cores and microfluidic molds, especially in food and medical industry

Aim : shortcut and corrosion protection of PCBA against moisture, sweat and submerging in water

Applied on PCBA used in :

Consumer electronic devices like headsets, Bluetooth speakers, smartphones, smartwatches and other wearables
Medical electronic devices like hearing aids, event recorders,…
Automotive electronics, more specific in sensors exposed to the environment, Industrial electronics, for devices, especially sensors, working in harsh environments
Electronics used in (corrosive) marine environments

Aim : protect the device against liquid ingress, especially against water and sweat
Applications: Used additionally as a first line of protection for all applications described in the point ‘Dielectrical barrier coating on Printed Circuit Board Assembly (PCBA)’ or on other electronic devices requiring a moderate protection against liquid ingress (‘rain-proof’)

Aim : clean/desmear multilayer PCB’s before metalizing in order to get good coverage in the via’s
Applied on on multilayer PCB’s

Provide oleophobicity as well as increase filter efficiency by providing a higher degree of charging capability.

Applied on electrets used in (HEPA & ULPA)-filters:

Industrial : cleanrooms, gas turbines,half and full mask filters.
·Consumer : home air purification systems, pollen filters, vacuum cleaner filters
·Medical : respirators, FFP2 and FFP3 face masks

Applied in venting for exterior lighting, batteries and electronic devices, especially sensors.

Aim : change behaviour of intrinsic hydrophobic material
Applied on track edge membrane for blood plasma filtration and cell culture growths

Aim : provide a liquid (water and/or oil-based) repellent coating, possibly enhanced with other features (flame retarding, antimicrobial, UV protection, certain degree of conductivity,…)
Applied on medical protection garment

Aim : provide increased wear-resistance to fabric, next to the common properties of hydrophobicity, oleophobicity or hydrophilicity
Development phase, samples only

Aim : provide a DWR (durable water-repellent) coating while maintaining maximum breathability
Applied on finished goods like shoes, gloves, sports & outdoor wear

Aim : ·Provide an amorphous low-friction coating in combination with the high level of wear-protection offered by these range of hard coatings, besides other functionalities such as non-sticking, anti-corrosion,…
