Openair® Plasma makes it a reality: long-term adhesion with new warm melt adhesives

The Openair® Plasma process makes it possible for the first time to achieve reliable results when using newly developed one-component warm-melt polyurethane (PUR) adhesives on non-polar plastics, such as polypropylene. Pretreatment with Openair® Plasma generates the required high surface tension on the materials to be bonded.

The technique for combining Openair® Plasma with warm melt adhesives was successfully developed in collaboration with adhesives manufacturer Sika.

The advantages of warm melt adhesives:

  • High green strength
  • Fast inline leakage testing
  • Increases productivity (>15%)
