Industrial plasma surface technology
Industrial plasma surface technology is an innovative process used in various industries for surface treatment and modification. This technique uses plasma, an ionized gas state, to create a variety of surface effects and improve material properties without the need for chemical additives.
Plasma is generated by placing a gas under high voltage and low pressure, which leads to ionization of the gas. The resulting plasma jet can then be directed specifically at the surface to be treated. This process allows precise control over the treatment as parameters such as gas composition, pressure, temperature and energy input can be adjusted.
Industrial plasma surface technology offers a number of advantages. Firstly, it enables improved adhesion of coatings, adhesives and paints to surfaces through targeted cleaning and activation of the surface. In addition, it can increase the surface energy, which leads to better wettability.
Another advantage of this technology is its ability to modify surface properties. By making specific changes to the chemical composition and surface structure, material properties such as hardness, wear resistance, scratch resistance and corrosion resistance can be improved.
Industrial plasma surface technology is used in a wide range of applications, including the production of coatings for automotive parts, medical implants, electronic components, packaging materials and much more. It offers an efficient and environmentally friendly method of improving the surface properties of materials and helps to increase the performance and durability of products.
