Plasma treatment


Surface preparation

Plasma technologie is very well suited as a surface treatment for many different materials. By choosing plasma treatement you avoid the use of solvents to remove residues of oil or fat. Before applying a coating, a glue or a print, the surface of the used material needs to be well prepared. Standard cleaning methods like sanding, sandblasting, solvent cleaning and other techniques are possible solutions.

Plasma treatment is less well known as a surface cleaning method, but could be the right solution for many applications.
 


Cleaning

Ultra clean surface

Improved humidity of the surface

Shear and pull strenght increases 2 to 10 times

Improved adhesion of coating or printing

Activation

The surface becomes active for new bonds

Removes silicone and oil from the surface

Etching

The total surface area increases

The surface humidity increases

Different applications tailored to your needs

Coating

New specific surface properties

Hydrophylic coating

Hydrophobic coating

How can we improve the adhesion?

1

Cleaning and degreasing

Removing oil residu and/or fat is the first step that is required. There are different methods available:

- Cleaning with solvents, acids or bases - electrolytic degreasing - vapor degreasing - ultrasonic degreasing
- Plasma cleaning

2

Chemical pretreatment

A chemical pretreatment consists of the following steps:

- Degreasing - rinsing - pickling - rinsing
- Plasma treatment

3

Mechanical pretreatment

oxides are removed from the surface and the surface is roughened by:

- Blasting - sanding - grinding - brushing
- Plasma micro sanding
