Plasma cleaning of surfaces - Import export

Due to the combination of materials forming them (polymers, glass, metals etc.), composites have complex surface properties. Atmospheric plasma opens the way to a high-quality surface finish as it allows cleaning and activation in a single stage, facilitating processes such as painting and varnishing. As an ecological and efficient technique, plasma is able to replace the most common toxic treatments. Advantages: - Uniform treatment easily integrated into both automatic and manual production. - delicate care of the part to be treated - Easy to implement, rapid treatment - Complete elimination of wet chemical products in the cleaning process - No neutralisation of the waste water, no elimination costs - No heat or steam generated in the workplace - Highly reliable and efficient cleaning process - Marked improvement in hydrophilic properties - Less staff required

The aim of the activation process is to alter the nature of a surface or its energy. More often than not, this allows the wettability of a surface to be increased (by adding polarity) or encouraging the adhesion of a coating (paintwork, ink, glue, varnish). Plasma activation is a simple process that allows a wide range of improvements. Plasma pre-treatment allows, in one single, simple and cheap stage, a significant improvement to the surface to be achieved.
