Surface properties in polypropylene with IMM
Surface properties in polypropylene with IMM
Petition / Problem
Biofilm is generated on a piece of polypropylene (PP) because it is in contact with wastewater.
Objective
New microstructure that manages to alter the roughness of the piece so that it is superhydrophobic and does not adhere or form biofilm.
ATRIA Solution
Texturing of the interior of the mold through IMM (In Mold Microstructuring) so that once injected they acquire the new texture on the surface.
Transfer of the microstructure from the mold to the final injected part.
