Pretreatment: Efficient cleaning process of plastic, aluminum and glass

Pretreatment and cleaning with Plasmatreat’s Openair® plasma produces the ideal conditions for the subsequent coating of plastic, aluminum or glass.

Due to the fact that cleaning with Plasmatreat’s plasma systems is a dry process immediate further processing of the materials is possible. The use of our technology ensures a smooth and efficient overall process. Due to the high energy level of Plasmatreat’s plasma, chemical or organic substances on the surface of the material can have their structure selectively broken up. This process results in new reaction products and the surface is completely freed of the unwanted initial substances creating ideal conditions for subsequent coating.

Short film: Cleaning surfaces with plasma

Cleaning a surface to the depth of its pores by means of Plasmatreat’s Openair® plasma.

No mechanical damage to the surface, no wet chemicals and it is an environmentally friendly process.

Mould release agents, additives, plasticizers and hydrocarbons are removed from the surfaces.

Ultrafine cleaning with Plasmatreat’s plasma systems removes from plastics even the finest particles of dust initially adhering tightly to the surface on account of the additives. The Plasmatreat’s plasma treatment process consumes the particles by reaction and removes them completely from the substratum. The wastage rate of high-quality paint jobs, in the automotive industry for example, is sharply reduced. Due to the physicochemical reaction in the nanometer range high-grade, precisely defined surfaces are obtained.

Advantages of cleaning with plasma
  • 100 % cleaning effect
  • No dilution effect (unlike water-based cleaning)
  • No need for other consumables (compared with cleaning by CO2 jets)
  • Surface cleaning of the complete structure of the material instead of just superficial peaks (in comparison with cleaning by sandblasting)
  • No additional investment in space due to in-line integration in the production line
  • Economically and ecologically efficient pretreatment
