PDD Technology

Relyon plasma has developed the PDD technology for particularly compact plasma generation. The PDD technology (Piezoelectric Direct Discharge) is based on the direct electrical discharge at an open piezoelectric transformer (PT). Typical industrial applications include surface activation to optimize wetting and adhesion properties of plastics, e.g. in printing, painting and bonding processes.
