Smart plasma priming - A new surface modification technology with superior interface features

Using the new and highly versatile Smart Priming technology, adhesion of UV-cure inks, organic coatings, adhesives and to some extent also thin metal films to plastics, can be improved. The method is based on forming covalent bonds between substrate and coating, using a combination of plasma treatment and introduction of a photosensitive acrylate compound. The uniform and homogeneous surface which results is idea for use with UV light for lithographic purposes.
