Since reducing the weight to be transported requires less energy for propulsion, the role of efficient metal-plastic hybrid constructions has been increasingly important. For affordable and efficient manufacturing of hybrid structural or d\u00e9cor components, Pontacol has developed adhesive films with which dissimilar materials such as plastic and metal can be firmly bonded without pre-treatement and in one production step.<br \/>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section el_class=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=&#8221;2437&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;][vc_column_text]Picture: PA back-injected aluminum trim part with Pontacol adhesive film as an adhesion promoter[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section el_class=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<br \/>\nThe required metal is laminated with a multilayer thermoplastic adhesive film, followed by an injection molding process onto the adhesive film coated metal. The pre-coating process of the metal with the adhesive film is clean, environmentally friendly and cost-efficient. Pontacol multilayer adhesive films are specially designed to have a strong adhesion to metal on one side, whiles the other side is specific matching high bonding strength to the injected polymers such as ABS, PC-ABS or PA. Through the cohesive connection of otherwise incompatible materials such as metal and plastic, they enable an even distribution of force, which opens up new application possibilities for lightweight structural components.<br \/>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3>Want to learn more about bonding of metal to plastics?<br \/>\nMeet us at JEC World from April 25<sup>th<\/sup> to 27<sup>th<\/sup> in Paris, Hall 6, Stand B41<\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_section][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;recent_title&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\">More News &amp; Insights<\/h1>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=&#8221;News &amp; Insights&#8221; style=&#8221;outline&#8221; shape=&#8221;square&#8221; color=&#8221;black&#8221; size=&#8221;lg&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fpontacol.com%2Fen%2Fnews-insights%2F|title:News%20%26%20Insights|&#8221; el_class=&#8221;animation_element&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.
