Course Description

Boost your chances to meet the weight reduction targets & pass crash tests with successful integration (bonding) of plastics, metals, and other composites in your complex part designs.



Leading expert, Francis Facon, will help you enhance impact resistance and overcome adhesion issues with guidance on how to choose the right surface pre-treatment & adhesive vs plastic (PE, PP, PA6, PA66, composite...). This roadblock-lifting session will detail several real cases, including methodology for developing applications needing bonding between different components.

Why should you view this course?

Stringent regulations [CAFÉ 2025] imposed by government agencies are putting a lot of pressure to scout different methods that help limit vehicular emissions. A popular tactic adopted by different OEMs is to reduce a vehicle's weight, which can significantly reduce fuel consumption and harmful emissions.

Using low surface energy materials (PE, PP, PA…) for manufacturing automotive & industrial parts can help, but the path to achieving them is not clear. So how to get there? Join this course to:

  1. Optimally join plastics (PE, PP, PA6, PA66…) & composites (metal, mineral filled, fiber reinforced…) with better comprehension of adhesive bonding on low energy materials.

  2. Select appropriate adhesives in advance & define your own bonding specifications rather than depending on adhesive suppliers for solutions.

  3. Opt for the right pre-surface treatment (flaming, plasma, corona, fluorination…) to bond different components.

  4. Solve plastics adhesion issues & improve part performance (automotive, industrial...) by revamping your part design methodology.

    • Get expert tips for troubleshooting techniques including flaming rules, cleaning, lap shear analysis, and more...

Who should join this course?

  • This course is a must for Engineers, project leaders or specialists involved in designing & manufacturing complex parts (bonding dissimilar materials, joint designs,…) using polyolefins, polyamides or composites for automotive, transportation and general industrial applications.
