What Plasma Actually Does to a Surface to Improve Adhesion

How Plasma Power Density & Custom Treater Designs Impact Success

Air plasma surface treating is an emerging green technology for leading manufacturers tasked with assembling and decorating plastics, composites, glass and metals.

You can see the effects of plasma treatment with improved adhesion of inks, adhesives, coatings and paints. You can use dyne solutions to detect how plasma treating improves in wettability and surface energy. And maybe you’ve heard that plasma cleans, etches and functionalizes surfaces, but what’s really going on at the surface that leads to improved adhesion?

Find out what plasma actually does to a surface to improve adhesion and how to ensure you’re delivering the right amount of treatment power for your application. In this presentation, surface treating expert Wilson Lee and Electromagnetics Engineer Jorge Solorzano share insights on plasma and surface preparation.

This webinar includes:

  • What constitutes a plasma and how it is created
  • Cleaning of organic and inorganic surface contaminants
  • Insights on ion bombardment, surface bonding sites and the importance of polar groups
  • New equipment designs that maximize treatment power & consistency
  • Enercon’s custom treatment options for challenging applications

Access to the webinar includes both the recorded presentation and the presentation slides.
