ADVANTAGES

Openair-Plasma^® technology compared to other pretreatment processes

• High process reliability: Openair-Plasma^® technology is distinguished by high fail-safety and process reliability.
• High cost-effectiveness: High process speed, even in multi-shift operation, and lower scrap rates provide high process efficiency. Because it allows for flexible material selection, the Openair-Plasma^® process also facilitates the use of more advantageous materials.
• High degree of activation: Unlike corona treatment, Openair-Plasma^® permits a high degree of activation of the surfaces to be treated.
• Large process window: Openair-Plasma^® permits a large process window: The danger of thermal component damage is extremely low in comparison to flaming.
• Easy to integrate: In contrast to mechanical processes, like roughening and sand or aluminum oxide blasting, Openair-Plasma^® can easily be integrated inline in existing processes.
• Environmentally friendly: The Openair-Plasma^® process makes it possible to treat surfaces with solvent-free and VOC-free methods. Unlike electrochemical processes, such as galvanizing or galvanically-supported pickling and chrome plating, wet chemistry is not required.
