Water barrier for ABS through IMM

Problem

Condensation water generated on the piece can cause problems in the electronics.

Objective

Generate a permanent water barrier through In Mold Microstructuring (IMM)

ATRIA Solution

Microstructure design. Transfer of the microstructured pattern by laser to the mold, optimization of the laser parameters.

Injection and optimization to achieve optimal transfer.

Performance of validation tests: contact angle, abrasion, resistance to temperature and humidity.
