Plasma Knowledge: Surface Technology
Plasma Surface Technology
Plasma surface technology is a rapidly growing industry. The main applications for plasma come in the form of modifying surfaces of various materials to enhance or improve their functionality. Plasma surface technology has the ability to change the surface of materials on the microscopic level, giving them different characteristics. One method that plasma surface technology can employ to change a surface’s traits is called micro-sandblasting. This is where the plasma bombards ions at the surface. This plasma treatment is used to clean and activate surfaces. Other surface technology methods include using the ionized gas to create a chemical reaction on the surface, and using UV radiation to break down long-chain complex carbon compounds.
Surface Technology Capabilities
Plasma treatments can be used on all kinds of materials. Plasma surface technology can be used for surface modification on plastics, semiconductors, glass, metals and ceramics. Plasma can also be created using several different gases to create several effects on surfaces. Some process gases for treatments could be air, oxygen, nitrogen, or hydrogen. With our wide variety of plasma systems, you can use surface technology to produce the exact characteristics that you want. Our surface technology treatments include cleaning, activation, etching and coating. All of which, can be carefully adapted to fit our customers’ specifications.
