Gerd Esswein, general manager of Freudenberg Forschungsdienste KG, said that Freudenberg decided to use plasma coating because of its unique capabilities and because it is a remarkably green technology.
“Dow Corning's APPLD technology gives us the chance to develop and manufacture customized textiles and other flexible materials with novel, tailor-made properties.
In addition, the APPLD technology complies with strict European environmental regulations and saves energy, raw material and waste, compared to traditional wet-chemical methods” he said.
