Functional Foil Bonding (FFB)

Transforming complex operating options into an easy-to-understand product: that’s the challenge facing developers and designers today. Customers expect a perfect symbiosis of convenience and look. The light color in the interior of their car is tailored to their personal taste, and the steering wheel connects directly to their smartphone. Tapping the homogenous surface will bring up the music icon and launch their favorite playlist. What was still unimaginable just a few years ago has become a matter of course today. With the patent-pending Functional Foil Bonding (FFB) process, KURZ has paved the way for bringing the future into the here and now. Surface design and sensor functionality are combined on a single component, functional elements can be seamlessly integrated into the decor and even into three-dimensional part geometries. Develop visions for your customers! KURZ supports you in bringing your visions to production maturity.

Due to their innovative nature, these sensors produced by KURZ subsidiary PolyIC allow for sophisticated surface designs and fascinating lighting effects with backlighting. Thus, all controls with single- or multi-touch function or gesture control can be arranged directly on the display area. Flawless capacitive operation can be easily realized even with thick plastics.

Small or large volumes: you develop your vision - we make it come true. Our creative design team always has its finger on the pulse of new trends. Because that’s what makes you the partner of choice for your customers - an exceptional user experience.

Technically sophisticated, aesthetically pleasing, deceptively real to the touch - customers want to be emotionally touched and inspired. With Functional Foil Bonding, KURZ has developed a technology that meets the needs of ambitious users. FFB works for almost all plastics and complex geometries, both for display operation and for smart applications. In the process, capacitive PolyTC^® sensors made of wafer-thin metal mesh structures are applied to the plastic surface on the back of a component. Highly transparent and radiolucent, they are practically invisible, which plays an important role especially for smart displays.
