Exploring new avenues

The use of polymer materials with low surface tension to make
3D parts has become commonplace in the automotive industry.

This means pretreatment system manufactures have to explore
new avenues to meet the resultant increased demands with
respect to surface activation.

The roots can be traced back to Ahlbrandt System GmbH,
a builder of film surface modification systems.

Faced with the above problem, Ahlbrandt found the
fluorination process to be the ideal solution. And it was from
these beginnings that a new company
- Fluor Technik System GmbH - was born.

Fluor Technik System began to optimize the fluorination process
and, in 1995, following an exhaustive programm of research
and developement, chalked up its first successes in fluorine
gas-based surface activation.
