Plasma Bound

Plasma Bound provides a step-change technology, termed Controlled Polymer Ablation (CPA), which facilitates the structural adhesive joining of lightweight materials, namely carbon and glass fibre reinforced composites. CPA technology will accelerate the use of these lightweight composite materials into multi-material structural assemblies, by enabling reliable adhesive joining which is stronger than the composite structures themselves.

The technology will satisfy the needs of global enterprises who are aggressively pursuing lightweighting opportunities to meet current and future carbon emissions and fuel efficiency requirements, such as, OEM’s in the Automotive, Aerospace and Mass Transport sectors. Further to this strong and unique value proposition, the technology is bolstered by 3 additional features; no waste production, reduced reliance on metal fasteners and lower production cost through operation simplification (in-line). Essentially, vehicles will become lighter at lower cost, effort, and waste.
