Coatings Products

Clearweld coatings are solvent-based materials which enable two pieces of plastic to be laser welded by efficiently converting laser energy to heat. They can be used on a wide range of plastic substrates and with a variety of colors, provided one of the substrates is laser-transmissive.

Unlike laser-absorptive resins, coatings can be used in applications where both the top and bottom substrates are laser-transmissive. Their use provides virtually limitless color flexibility, including transparent and water-white materials.

Designed for use with Clearweld certified dispensing equipment, these coatings are available for needle-tip and microsolenoid dispensing systems.

Our patented plastic laser welding technology allows plastic product designers and engineers to overcome challenges and obstacles presented by light curable adhesives and solvent bonds.

Gentex recommends conducting a feasibility study to determine the most appropriate coating and dispensing technology for your application. We also offer Engineering Services and an implementation process to support you in the investigation and implementation of your plastic laser welding application.
