Adhesion of Polyurethane on Glass
Jan, 2021
Process optimization resulting in reduced cost and increased reliability
Customer challenge
Pre-treatment is often manual and is organic-solvent-based primer-dependent
- Small process window due to long waiting-time and limited open-time
-> high proportion of waste - High process variability
- Substantial Environmental, Health and Safety concerns
Solution
Grafting of a silane nanolayer onto the glass with a solvent-free, automated Molecular Grip solution removes all these challenges
- Immediate in-line inspection
- Fully SPC controlled process
Results
- Fully automated process -> controlled variability
- Elimination of open time constraints (increased to months)
à optimized supply chain and cost reduction - No waiting time between operational processes
- Vastly reduced EHS concerns
