Water barrier for ABS using IMM

Petition / Problem

Condensation water generated in the part can cause electronics problems.

Objective

Generate a permanent water barrier through In Mold Microstructure (IMM).

ATRIA solution

Design of the microstructure. Transfer of the microstructured pattern by laser to the mold, optimization of the laser parameters.

Injection and optimization for optimal transfer.

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