Foam sealing is a process that involves applying a foam seal to a surface to prevent leakage, noise, vibration, or dust. Foam sealing is widely used in various industries, such as automotive, aerospace, and construction, to improve the quality and safety of products and components.
However, foam sealing can be challenging due to the low surface energy and contamination of some materials, which can reduce the adhesion strength and reliability of the foam seal. To overcome this challenge, Robafoam, a UK based foam sealing specialist, has partnered with Henniker, a leading manufacturer of plasma treatment systems, to use their Cirrus atmospheric plasma system for surface preparation before foam bonding.
Robafoam is a leading company in the field of foam sealing, providing high-quality and reliable solutions for various industries. Their innovative CeraPUR foam seal is applied by robots to create watertight, noise-reducing, and protective joints on any substrate. However, to ensure optimal adhesion of the foam seal to the component surface, they needed a way to increase the surface energy and remove any contaminants.
That's where Henniker came in. Henniker is a UK-based company that specializes in plasma treatment systems and services. Plasma treatment is a fast and effective way to modify the surface properties of materials, enhancing their wettability, adhesion, and bonding performance. Plasma treatment can also clean and activate surfaces, removing any organic or inorganic contaminants that may interfere with the adhesion process.
