Said to be effective on a variety of material surfaces, including carbon fiber and natural fiber composites, as well as polyolefins, fluorinated polymers and metals, the one-step MolecularGRIP process combines plasma treatment with MPG’s adhesion promoter chemistry. The plasma activates both the part surface and the coating molecules, which covalently bind onto the surface. MPG’s PlasmaLine system. The technology is customizable with a range of plasma gases and organic chemicals to work with a variety of sensitive and inert materials to achieve superior bonding. MolecularGRIP can be used with either MPG’s PlasmaSpot or PlasmaLine systems.
