Pretreating different plastics with plasma can also change their surface properties. When in contact with plasma, the mostly non-polar plastics acquire oxygen- and nitrogen-containing groups.

Another field of application for plasma technology is the production of ultra-thin coatings on surfaces. An organo-silicon compound is added to the plasma as a precursor and deposited on the material surface.

Microfine cleaning with plasma can remove the smallest dust particles from the substrate. Precisely defined surfaces with the best prerequisites for further processing are created thanks to the chemical-physical reaction in the nano range.

Oxide layers on metal surfaces can pose challenges in processes like soldering and bonding. The REDOX^®-Tool, an innovation within the Openair-Plasma^® suite, offers an inline solution for oxide reduction. By utilizing atmospheric pressure plasma, this tool efficiently reduces metal oxides, eliminating the need for traditional fluxes and enabling flux-free soldering processes.
