Pretreatment Solutions for Improving Adhesion in Electronics Applications
Blown-ion plasma and flame plasma are effective and repeatable treatment methods that take the guesswork out of electronics manufacturing bonding processes. It is imperative that manufacturers protect these electronics from moisture, corrosion, contamination, static, and mechanical shock. To prevent damage, electronics such as printed circuit boards (PCBs) are typically protected with coatings. Additional protection methods…
Read MoreWhat Plasma Treating Does to a Surface Video Animation
Plasma Treatment cleaning, etching and functionalizing Atmospheric plasma treatment is used by manufacturers, converters and packagers to improve surface energy and adhesion. The animations below show how the process effectively functionalizes surfaces. These treatment systems diffuse reactive gases toward the surface under the influence of electrical fields. Low molecular weight materials such as water, absorbed…
