Pre-cleaning adapted to the respective component and subsequent plasma cleaning and activation processes ensure uniform coating application and optimum adhesion of the coating to the components. In doing so, we focus heavily on the low-pressure plasma system specially developed and patented by APO.<\/p>\n
We offer our PWIS-free cleaning for small parts to ensure the safe use of your components in coating systems and coating processes, independently from our coating services. We are specialists and know how to deal with substances that impair paint wetting.<\/p>\n
The APO PWIS-free cleaning processes with patented plasma technology achieve a sustainable cleaning effect. In addition to metals, they are particularly suitable for plastics and elastomers and ensure that your products are PWIS-compliant.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

A wide variety of colours or effects, such as gloss, matt or metallic effects, can be achieved. Colour matching to other materials is also possible. We coat the widest variety of materials.

Such functional coatings optimise, protect and improve the surfaces of the products. Coatings to reduce friction, for example, facilitate subsequent assembly processes, reduce assembly forces or optimise dynamic friction properties and thus reduce component wear. They also minimise stick-slip effects and can therefore prevent noise development in many applications. Special coatings for metal parts also offer corrosion protection. Coloured bonded coatings also identify a component and prevent components from being confused during assembly. For elastic substrates, i.e. elastomers, we naturally use elastic coatings.<\/p>\n

Our PWIS-free cleaning with wet chemical processes and patented plasma technology guarantees optimum technical cleanliness, tailored to your components and requirements, for the safe use of your components in paint shops or similarly sensitive production areas.<\/p>\n
The cleaned components fulfil the most varied requirements for PWIS conformity in accordance with VDMA 24364 or other specifications for testing for paint wetting impairment substances.<\/p>\n
