Abstract:
A method for coating at least one wiper blade element (10) made of an elastomer material, in which first, the surface of the wiper blade element (10) is cleaned and activated by means of a plasma, and then in a CVD process, a coating material is brought into a plasma state and at least one protective coating (64) forms on the surface of the wiper blade element (10), where a high-frequency voltage is applied to the region of the wiper blade element (10) oriented away from the protective layer (84) by means of an electrode plate wherein before being brought into a treatment chamber (32, 34, 36, 38, 40, 74), the wiper blade element (10) is cut to a useful length (86) from a profiled band, is placed on the electrode plate (56L 76) of a merchandise carrier (42), and is subjected to a plasma flow (50).
