How Could Vacuum Plasma Treatment Benefit You ?

Vacuum Plasma provides innovative surface modification technology and offers effective solutions to adhesion and wetting problems in many industries. Component preparation using plasma treatment is an important step prior to printing, bonding, painting, varnishing and coating processes.Plasma surface modification provides an economical solution for the cleaning and activation of part surfaces before further processing.

How Does Vacuum Plasma Treatment Help To Solve The Problems Of Adhesion ?

To obtain good adhesion to low surface energy materials i.e. low or non-polar materials like PP, PE, HDPE etc. we need to modify the surface i.e. increase its polarity. Placing your components in the highly active environment that exists inside a plasma chamber is the ideal method to increase the material's polarity. The free radicals and other particles that exist in the highly active plasma discharge can attach to the material surface resulting in the formation of additional polar groups on the material surface, these have a strong chemical attraction to inks, paint, coatings, adhesives etc. leading to significantly enhanced surface energy and therefore adhesion.

Atmospheric pressure plasma system readily solve surface adhesion problems for a wide variety of products and applications :

•  Easy to use : Mobile for testing in various departments, and for various parts and projects. Connect to mains power and the unit is ready.
•  Fast treatment times : High power impact enables treatment times from 10-180 seconds, depending on material.
•  Vacuum level : The unit operates at a vacuum level 1-4 mbar.
•  Visible plasma process : Metal door with inspection windows.
•  Treament results fully transferable : Using the same concept ensures easy upscaling to full scale production units.
•  Rubber and plastics industry : Rubber, plastic material surface treated to form one active layer, the better for printing, adhesive, coating and other operations.
•  Automotive industry : Ignition coil processing, instrument panel (PU) flexible polyurethane coating pre-treatment in the control panel before the bonding process, the internal parts. before planting adorned processing PP,Door seals
•  The electronics industry : Hard plastic pieces, earphone, cell phone case.
•  Medical industry : Intravenous infusion, catheter.
•  Textile fibers industries : Woven flame retardant treatment, singeing treatment, splashing

Water treatment, non-slip handle, antistatic treatment, coating, anti-bacterial deodorant processing, printing and processing, with a variety of non-woven textile composite acupuncture treatment, as well as non-woven fabrics with a variety of materials (plastic, film, textiles, etc.) bonding, etc.

The effect of the plasma changes by varying the process parameters such as pressure, power, process time, gas flow and composition. Several effects can therefore be achieved in a single process step.
