Understanding Carbonic Cleaning for Adhesive Bonding Applications
Bonding in automotive, aerospace, and other assembly operations can be improved through effective surface pretreatment technologies such as carbonic cleaning.
Cleaning and surface pretreatment are directly related in many industries. Traditional pretreatment methods such as alcohol wiping or air nozzles are used to clean off contaminants and prepare surfaces for adhesion. However, these cleaning techniques are not always effective, especially in bonding applications. They can leave contaminants on the surface that affect the bond strength between two materials.
