Surface treatment with plasma

There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.

Tinsley and Harris used computer-controlled localised plasma treatment with the piezobrush® PZ2-i to selectively modify the chemical behaviour of silicone and PET to produce pneumatic soft actuators.

The highlight of this year’s trade show appearance at Bondexpo is the presentation of the compact integration solution piezobrush® PZ3-i for the first time ever. The cold plasma device is designed for integration into existing production lines and is therefore compact, safe, and efficient. Thus, it is ideally suited for pre-treatment prior to gluing, printing, and laminating.

GREENoneTEC uses atmospheric pressure plasma in solar thermal technology to increase surface tension and process-safe bonding.

KIOTO Photovoltaics GmbH from St. Veit in Austria has been using plasma in solar technology for years. Here, the plasma high-performance system plasmabrush® PB3 is integrated into the automated system for surface pre-treatment before bonding.

The subject of this whitepaper is the atmospheric pressure plasma jet piezobrush® PZ3, developed by relyon plasma GmbH in Regensburg

With low-energy surfaces such as silicone, polypropylene or Teflon, a strong increase in surface energy is achieved after surface activation with the piezobrush PZ2 handheld plasma device.

We are very happy that the Kunststoff-Zentrum SKZ extended their wide protfolio in surface pre-treatment with the plasma handheld piezobrush.

Investigation of the adhesion of pressure sensitive adhesives on coated steel by plasma treatment.

Atmospheric pressure plasma can be used in a variety of ways to achieve good adhesion and improve bondings. This makes the process an attractive alternative to chemical bonding agents and solvents.

Without the application of plasma technologies, many industrial processes cannot be realized, or can only be realized at great expense. That is why Relyon Plasma has developed a concept to automate the handling of plasma generators – with robots of Kawasaki.

Industrial parts cleaning with plasma is an environmentally friendly and inline-capable cleaning technology that ensures high quality in downstream processes.

Surface activation, surface treatment and precision cleaning are processes now possible with plasma-based tools. Corinna Little of relyon plasma describes the applications and the potential of this modern technology

The prospects of using a plasma source for conductivity studies are currently investigated by the Philipps-Universität Marburg

We are really proud that the expert for surface treatment Dr. Richard Suchentrunk has published an interesting article about relyon plasma in the magazine Galvanotechnik.

During a visit to the laboratory of biofluid mechanics at OTH Regensburg, experiments to improve the adhesion of glass and PDMS with plasma took place.

How can you prepare glass for digital printing to create a durable product? We provide a brief overview of pre-treatment for glas printing.

Roding Automobile GmbH is an internationally active technology company in the field of lightweight construction and electromobility. Read how they use plasmatechnology.

Surface energy  Determination of surface energy by means of test inks and contact angle measurement, enhancement through plasma treatment Wettability is of major importance for all kinds of surface treatments like printing, varnishing and gluing. It describes the behaviour of liquids on solid surfaces which is dependent on the surface tension of the liquid and […]

If plasma activation is used for composite materials during the production of beverage and food packaging,
very high process speeds will be required.

With the plasmabox, relyon plasma presents a compact solution based on state-of-the-art technology. It is simply integrated into the existing system and the plasma process can be started.

Plasmatool, the high-efficient plasma handheld device for surface treatment. The perfect tool for flexible and easy surface treatment in industrial environments.

Plastics are usually characterized by inert surfaces with surface energies between 20 and 40 mN/m. In order to wet a surface, however, the surface energy of the polymer must exceed the one of the paint or the adhesive. This condition can be achieved through a plasma treatment of the surface and is called “activation“ in plasma technology.

The high temperatures which are reached in most plasma applications make many users wonder about process safety, especially when highly sensitive materials are treated. This article addresses open questions concerning temperature and heat conduction during plasma applications and cites critical examples which substantiate the suitability of plasma for temperature-critical processes.

Through a simple measurement of the surface energy, the activation capacity of a surface treatment may be evaluated and quantified. This allows for a quantitative comparison of the performance and efficiency of various methods of surface treatment using a physically defined quantity.

The Plasmadust technology of relyon plasma enables the gentle deposition of powdery plastics on the metal.

PDD® Plasma technology improves surface texture and wettability. It is suitable for integration into 3D printers of all kinds and categories of performance.

The new nozzles for piezobrush PZ2 enable applications which were not possible with the standard version of this product.

Is the surface treatment of electronic devices with atmospheric pressure plasma possible? We have started a series of tests.

The Plasmasystem FG1-01 is an integrated solution for those applications where several plasmasystems are required. For plasma generation, the necessary PS2000® power supplies are driven by the control system.

Plasma technology in dentistry: Devices with PDD® technology can be used particularly efficiently in medical applications and especially in dentistry.

Mit der PDD® Technologie wird eine Geräteklasse eingeführt, die für medizinische und medizintechnische Anwendungen prädestiniert ist.

We have developed a wear-free plasma source, the piezobrush® PZ2, for the plasma functionalization and disinfection of implants. Plastverarbeiter.de

To activate electronic components we designed the floating A250 nozzle. This nozzle for sensitive materials is used with the plasmabrush® PB3 System.

In orthopedics PEEK implants are standard. Meanwhile, dental implants are made increasingly from the high-performance plastic.

Für die Funktionalisierung von PEEK-Implantaten haben wir ein transportables und einfach zu handhabendes Plasmagerät (piezobrush® PZ2) entwickelt.
