Etching

Surface modification, also known as "Etching", is the process of changing the chemical and/or physical structure of material surfaces. These surfaces such as PTFE insulation, are etched to make them more amenable to processes like adhesion. In general, this process affects only the very top layer of a surface, often to a depth of only a few angstroms. Sodium-etching of fluoropolymers is a well-established and well-understood technology with more than forty years of successful bonding experience in many thousands of applications worldwide.

We guarantees a bondable surface, fast turnaround, and AS9100 certified reliability. Etching processes in compliance with SAE ARP6167 are used to meet the challenging demands of our industry with stringent customer requirements.

Let us help in the decision-making process. We can give you the benefit of our many years of etching experience and discuss alternate methods, shortcuts and QC protocols that you should consider. Send us an email message providing as much detail as possible and ask for a discussion with one of our engineers.
