Plasma activation of plastics prior to adhesive bonding, printing, varnishing…
Materials: PP, PE, PP-EPDM, PC, PET
Applications:
- medicine technology
- sensor technology
- industrial varnishing
- automotive applications
- electronics industry
The surface of the plastic components is activated by plasma treatment with reactive gases, oxygen, at the surface. The oxygen attaches itself, radical sites are formed. The surface has a very good wettability. Deposited sticking systems and/or lacquer systems have a very good adhesion.
Cleaning of metals prior to adhesive bonding, printing, varnishing….
Materials: All technical metals (aluminum, copper, tungsten, steel…)
Applications:
- medicine technology
- sensor technology
- industrial varnishing
- automotive applications
- electronics industry
Organic contaminations on the metal surface react with the supplied process gas. The reaction gas continuously is sucked off. The surface is cleaned.
Plasma reduction
Materials: Copper
Applications:
- production of switches
- production of relais
- sensor technology
The metal oxide chemically reacts with the process gas. The deposited oxygen is withdrawn from the surface. As a process gas, pure hydrogen or a mixture with argon is used.
Plasma structuring as a pretreatment prior to printing, adhesive bonding, varnishing…
Materials: Plastics (such as POM), semiconductors
Applications:
- medicine technology
- sensor technology
- micro mechanics
- automotive applications
- electronics industry

In the plasma structuring / plasma etching process gases are used which may convert the material to be etched into the gas phase (for example etching of silicon with fluorine containing gases). Raw gas is supplied and ionized. The resulting reaction gas is sucked off. Thus, a continuous demolition is reached. Areas can be protected by means of an etching layer (such as chromium) being resistant against the used process gas. Thus, a surface can be structured specifically.
Plasma polymerisation as a coating of surfaces , protective coatings, hydrophobic coatings
Materials: All surfaces can be coated
Applications:
All conceivable areas

Sponge with a hydrophobic plasma coating
Not only cleaning effects can be obtained with plasma, but it also is possible to coat construction units. Thus, in the recipients monomers are introduced which then polymerize under the influence of plasma. The process technology substantially is more complex on comparison to activation and degreasing. For example, barrier layers in fuel tanks, scratch-proof layers on headlights, layers similar to PTFE, hydrophobic layers can be manufactured. All the layers are extremely thin, being within the range of one micrometer. The adhesion at the surface is very good.
