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.

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.

Scientists of Osaka Dental University researched on the effect of plasma treatment of titanium surface on biocompatibility. The entire test series was performed with the piezobrush PZ2 from relyon plasma.

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

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.

This paper examines the probability of failure of the PS2000OEM power source in the event of a short-term power failure of the power grid.

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

Paint and clean with plasma! With a special pulse technique even coarse dirt or thicker layers can be removed.

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.

Many thermoplastic materials are very difficult to glue. Activation with atmospheric plasma significantly increases the adhesive force of the joint in just one process step.

Using a risk assessment methodology applied on empirical data and failure scenarios, we have been able to prove that our plasma systems reach a high performance level and safety. Using the modern approach of redundant safety circuits critical hazard can be avoided efficiently.

The reduction of metal surfaces with atmospheric plasma processes is suitable for a variety of metals and alloys.

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.

Cold atmospheric pressure plasmas are now being widely used for many types of surface disinfection and sterilization. Despite the wide area of applications and high demand for new effective treatments, the understanding of interactions of plasmas with living cells and tissue remains rather limited.

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.

Our Plasmabrush® system, particularly the PS2000 high voltage unit, supplies meaningful digital process data from which valuable process information can be gained based on our years of expertise. In close collaboration with you, we define the operating points for your production steps and provide a working area designed to achieve the desired results.
