If surfaces need to be painted, printed or glued, they require good wettability of the surface for good adhesion.

Sterilizing with plasma is for example possible for medical implants, consumer products, resistant pathogens and industrial products.

Plasmas reduce concentrations of pathogens upon contact with contaminated surfaces. Plasma destroys bacteria, viruses, fungi and prions; it also removes toxins and further organic contaminants.

Ultrafine plasma cleaning of surfaces with cold atmospheric pressure plasmas is a fast environmentally-friendly industrial process.

Plasma surface pretreatment improves the adhesion of paints and varnishes to the surfaces and thus improves the quality of the coating and varnishing.
