Aluminium - Environmental revolution in coil coating
Soon the innumerable tons of wet chemicals and millions invested in
wastewater disposal could be a thing of the past because Openair atmospheric
pressure plasma technology has made it possible for the fist time worldwide to displace the use of chemicals in the precleaning process of aluminium coils. The noted American technical journal MODERN METALS publishes a 3-page colour report on this innovation in its November issue 2007.

Plasma treatment of aluminium surfaces: Ultrafine cleaning without use of wet chemical processes
Protection of aluminium parts against corrosion and a high degree of environmental friendliness by avoiding the use of wet chemicals in the cleaning process for aluminium sheet are the main topics of a report in the German technical journal ALUMINIUM, issue 11/2007.

Microfine cleaning without wet-chemical processes
Atmospheric-pressure plasma treatment doubly effective
Openair plasma technology conditions surfaces in two respects. Depending on the process and product concerned either cleaning or activation of the surface is the centre of attention. Its economic efficiency relative to the low-pressure process is one of the key topics of the report in the German technical journal PLASTVERARBEITER, issue 10/2007.

Selective corrosion protection for aluminium housings by means of plasma coating
By means of the PlasmaPlus® process developed by Plasmatreat and now employed for the first time in series production in the automotive sector the surfaces of metallic components are selectively coated in-line at atmospheric pressure to prevent corrosion of bonded joints. The German technical journal JOT (Journal für Oberflächentechnik / Journal of Surface Technology) reports at length in its September 2007 issue on the new process.

Pre-treatment of aluminium with plasma in air
Atmospheric-pressure plasma technology is revolutionising the
pre-treatment of aluminium and at the same time is demonstrating
environmental conservation in exemplary fashion. The international
magazine AIT (Aluminium International Today) reports in its latest
issue from August 2007 about the latest use of Openair-Plasma in the
aluminium sector.

Plasma replaces Chemistry – Environmental Impact Revolution in Coil Coating
The problems most frequently encountered in the processing of aluminium
are associated with the environmentally harmful and energy-intensive
chemical pretreatment processes still used today. Now, for the first
time, a process has been developed and implemented whose use completely
eliminates said problems. In its August 2007 issue the German technical
journal BBR – Bänder, Bleche, Rohre (Metal strip, sheet, pipes) –
presents a detailed report on this globally sensational application.

One-stop shop – Cleaning, activation and coating with atmospheric-pressure plasma
is the title of a four-page report in the July 2007 issue of the German
technical journal GALVANO TECHNIK. The article deals with the different
possible uses of Openair® atmospheric-pressure plasma technology.

Safer LNG transport due to correct pretreatment
The example of the transport of natural gas from remote production
countries shows once again the benefits that can be derived from the
use of modern adhesive bonding technology. When the currently largest
liquid gas tankers in the world cruise over the oceans both Openair
plasma and adhesives as well as excellent German-French collaboration
have made a decisive contribution to this. The German technical journal
ADHÄSION publishes an extensive report on this in its 6/2007 issue.

Safer LNG transport due to correct pretreatment
Protects the environment and the pocket
Atmospheric-pressure plasma treatment is a versatile, economically
efficient and environmentally compatible tool in processes for
cleaning, activating and coating surfaces composed of plastic and
metal. The German technical journal INDUSTRIE ANZEIGER in issue 21/2007
reports on the optimisation of adhesive bonding processes by the use of
atmospheric-pressure plasma.

"Give Leaks No Chance" -
Plasma-pre-treatment protects electronics
Electronic circuits and components have to be reliably encapsulated to
protect them against dust and moisture. Many electronics companies now
use a surface-pre-treatment technology that up until now was only found
in the automotive sector: Openair-Plasma.
The German professional journal KUNSTSTOFFE (Plastics) reports on this topic in detail in its issue 5/2007.

From perfume bottle to speedometer display -
surface treatment prior to painting
Pretreatment with atmospheric pressure plasma is arousing ever more
interest among users who require microscopically fine precleaning and
high activation of surfaces prior to the painting process. In its
4/2007 issue the technical journal JOT (Journal für Oberflächentechnik
[Journal for Surface Technology]) carries a report on the wide-ranging
use of Openair® plasma prior to painting.

Secure protection for electronic components
“In-line casting with integrated plasma treatment” is the subject of
the joint report by Scheugenpflug AG and Plasmatreat GmbH which
appeared in issue 4/2007 of the journal ADHÄSION. For the perfect
casting of electronic components, fully automated casting installations
are equipped with an atmospheric pressure plasma unit for pretreating
the component housings. This unit provides microscopically fine
precleaning and activation of the surfaces of the workpieces.

“A Brilliant Finish” - Use of plasma prior to surface coating
If products made of plastics, metals or glass with an aristocratic look
are to make a positive impact, particularly good pretreatment prior to
that final surface coating is essential. Ultrafine precleaning and high
activation of surfaces is provided by atmospheric pressure “Openair”
Plasma. A four-page report in the 3/2007 issue of the American magazine
FTM (Finishing Today Magazine) describes applications of plasma ranging
from its use in the automotive sector, through housings for hand-held
mobile telephones to perfume bottles.

“Plasma the 4th state of matter”
Under this banner heading the noted British technical journal BP&R
(British Plastics & Rubber) introduced in its 2/2007 issue an
extensive special report on the industrial applications of this state
of matter resulting from the development of OPENAIR® Plasma and the
Plasmatreat jet systems employed in-line in production processes.
