PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are chemicals that are used in numerous products due to their water, grease, and dirt-repellent properties. However, their persistence in the environment makes them increasingly problematic.

Low-pressure plasma is a superior technology for replacing PFAS-containing coatings. Thanks to vacuum operation, it enables extremely precise and homogeneous coating of even complex 3D geometries down to the nanometer range. The result is durable and reliable layers.

A key advantage is the high level of process control, which ensures reproducible quality. This allows for the creation of customized, PFAS-free surfaces as well as other functionalized coatings. In addition, low-pressure plasma improves the stability of the layers and enables a wider range of functional coatings at low temperatures–a versatile and reliable alternative for various applications.

Our experts Dr. Dhia Ben Salem and Klaus Kresser provide detailed insight into the technology, show practical examples, and answer your questions live in the webinar.
