Plasma surface treatment is an environmentally responsible alternative to chemical primers, solvents, grit blasting and wet cleaning processes. Using electrical energy and air as a process gases, plasma modifies surface chemistry at room temperature, increasing surface energy and reactivity without generating liquid waste, VOCs, or harmful by-products.

• Chemical free – Replaces solvent-based primer for low surface energy materials prior to painting and bonding.
• Dry, low energy – Removes organic contamination and oxides using low input energy.
• Sustainable – Enables high-speed automation while reducing chemical usage.

Our plasma surface treatment modifies surface chemistry and energy to enable strong, reliable bonding between dissimilar materials. By activating the surface at a molecular level, plasma promotes chemical interaction with adhesives, sealants, and overmoulded materials.

• Enhanced Adhesive Bonding – Improves bond strength for plastic-to-plastic, plastic to metal and compositie assemblies without mechanical fastening.
• Eliminates the need for chemical priming.
• Improves adhesive wet-out and bond consistency.

Plasma deposition enables the formation of ultra-thin functional coatings directly on the surface. Using plasma energy, precursor materials are polymerised to create uniform films that modify surface properties without altering bulk material characteristics.

• Nanometre scale coating – maintains optical transparency
• Tailored functionality – achieve dense barrier films, non-wetting, anti-fingerprint, anti-fouling etc.
• Low temperature application – enables coating of sensitive materials.

Plasma surface treatment fundamentally improves print performance by increasing surface energy and removing microscopic contamination. This enables inks to wet, anchor, and cure consistently on materials that are traditionally difficult to print.

• Improves ink wet-out and adhesion
• Consistent print quality – reduced pin-holing, feathering, ink flaking in high-speed printing processes.
• Enables printing on to low-energy materials (PP, PE, PET, fluoropolymers)
