Automotive: No Need for Masking

Masking before filling the dashboards with foam is a labor-intensive process. A way out of masking and what other advantages can be derived therefrom is shown by an automotive dashboard supplier for the Audi Q5 using the Openair® plasma process. INDUSTRIAL PAINT & SURFACE MAGAZINE (3/2013) covers the process.
