Special note on the operation of the plasma process

6.1

General description

Treating surfaces with atmospheric plasma has several advantages. Examples include
the increase of surface energy resulting in improved surface wetting.
Optimal surface wetting is the first and often decisive step to get a good imprint, a uniform
coating, a consistent coat of varnish or an integrally-bonded application of adhesive. The
bond at this boundary layer often determines the longevity and adhesive strength of this
material pairing.
Atmospheric-pressure plasma increases throughput in many industrial processes, while
at the same time saving costs for solvents or chemical primers. We have successfully
integrated our plasma products into the following application fields:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Practically all technical material classes can be efficiently processed under atmospheric
pressure:
•
•
•
•
•
Since the plasma treatment is always just one part of the entire process, it is important to
know the overall influences on the surface properties in order to achieve an optimal
result.
Typical influencing factors could be:
•
•
