In contrast to polished surfaces, microribs created with laser technology provide increased adhesion. The fine structures created with the help of laser technology increase the roughness of the surface, which contributes to the stronger and more durable adhesion of various materials, such as adhesives and sealants, to the surface. This method is particularly beneficial during manufacturing processes, as the micro-ribbed surfaces result in better bonding without damaging the material.
Advantages of Laser Microgrooving in Improving Adhesion
Laser microgrooving offers an innovative solution to enhance adhesion in industrial applications where the reliability of adhesives and sealants is crucial. This technology allows the surface to have microscopic roughness, thereby ensuring better adhesion of the joining materials. Compared to polished surfaces, laser-created microgrooves offer a significant advantage, as the finely structured surface results in a strong bond.
Laser microgrooving is a non-contact process, thus reducing the risk of mechanical damage, while providing excellent precision and repeatability, this method also supports manufacturing processes, as it ensures that the adhesion remains reliable, durable and stable over the long term.
