Industrial applications: Plasmatreat Openair® plasma technology for modern, environmentally friendly pretreatment in textile production

Environmentally friendly and cost-effective

In the production of modern high-quality textiles having functional properties an extra surface treatment is often required. Factors such as compatibility with the environment and cost-effectiveness are very much in the foreground in the textile industry. Both natural and synthetic fabrics and fibers are treated with Plasmatreat’s Openair® plasma. The use of our plasma technology affords ideal opportunities in the field of dry pretreatment.

Advantages of Plasmatreat’s Openair® plasma pretreatment in textile production
  • Surfaces are rendered hydrophilic and also water-repellent and dirt-repellent
  • Due to the activation of incorporated filaments the structure of fiber composites is substantially strengthened
  • The use of Plasmatreat’s Openair® plasma is an environmentally friendly and dry alternative to chemical coating
