The Plasma division starts with the industry’s best plasma systems designed and manufactured specifically for plasma coating. We bring to our customers a team of experienced process engineers with deep knowledge of the many applications of plasma systems and technology to improve manufacturing processes. We design and manufacture custom systems to help our customers streamline their processes, resulting in improved ROI and profitability.
For more than 30 years, we’ve acquired relevant experience to become a technology leader in the implementation and use of plasma systems for manufacturers & university researchers. We are dedicated to creating and delivering surface modification solutions that improve the manufacturing process and profitability of our customers.
Plasma coating technology allows manufacturers to achieve reliable and uniform application of coatings.
Plasma coating or plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) uses plasma to modify the properties of material surfaces to produce a surface that will uniformly receive a coating.
Plasma coating applies ultra-thin layers of individual molecular groups or monomers to objects and material surfaces.
This innovative plasma coating process enables superior bond performance of coatings such as:
For low pressure plasma coating, a vapor of liquid or gaseous monomer is introduced into the plasma chamber. This gas or vapor from the process is molecularly bonded with the help of plasma. This coating is applied in the range of 10 angstroms to microns, depending on the process parameters.
For coating by an atmospheric plasma process, the gaseous monomers are introduced directly into the plasma jet by means of a carrier gas. Therefore, the plasma focuses on the monomer on the surface and polymerizes it.
Thierry offers a complete range of plasma systems for every application. Plasma systems differ by technology – low pressure and atmospheric pressure – as well as by size and design.
We offer process development, system rentals, and contract service at our facility. In addition to our large inventory of standard plasma systems, we also specialize in custom built systems to best suit your needs.
These systems apply energy to a gas in a vacuum system to produce a stable source of gas plasma.
These systems apply air or gas plasma to a small area of a part without treating the entire part.
These custom systems enable manufacturers a design that fits seamlessly into their established manufacturing line.
Many manufacturing processes require high altitude testing or material drying vacuum chamber solutions.
