How it Works
Surfaces
Aculon® has a wide variety of adhesion promotion coating technologies at our disposal meaning that we can treat nearly any surface or substrate. This includes, but is not limited to metals, polymers, semiconductors, ceramics, and glass. The type of substrate will impact the technology options which can be utilized in addition to cleaning or other processing steps that may be required. In general due to the presence of a surface oxide layer we find the highest likelihood of success with metals, ceramics, glass, and semiconductors.
Adhesion Promotion Coating Performance
Our adhesion promotion coating technologies improve adhesive and bonding characteristics of oxide containing surfaces. By directly functionalizing the substrate surface with Aculon's adhesion promotion nano-coatings, delamination, and adhesive failure are significantly reduced. This enables improved adhesive performance in addition to thickness reduction as traditional techniques such as surface roughening can be eliminated. A self assembling process ensures a uniform and even coating every time!
Technology - Adhesion Promotion Coating Platforms
Aculon’s® core coating technology on which our adhesion promotion technologies are based around is the SAMP or "Self Assembled Monolayer of Phosphonates" which is comprised of a phosphonic acid and a functional tail molecule which can impart improved adhesive characteristics on oxide containing substrates.
Application Process - Adhesion Promotion Nano-Coatings
Aculon® adhesion promotion coatings & treatments are robust and scalable for high volume commercial applications. Treatments are all applied via wet chemical processes, meaning no deposition equipment, chambers, or batch processing, ever! Application options include spray, wipe, dip, jet, or dispense.
