Plasmatreat presents Openair plasma technology in Equiplast2008
In order to ensure an optimal and lasting commitment in time, should create the right conditions. The technology of plasma Openair provides a simple, safe and treatment without solvents, which takes place before the process of accession and implementation of lacquer. The technology of plasma, developed by Plasmatreat, works with a system of nozzles in atmospheric conditions. It's a safe and reliable process that can be easily integrated to a robotics facility, does not require vacuum chambers and not interrupt the production process. Systems used are directly integrated into the existing production line. Using atmospheric plasma and without the use of any chemicals, plastic surface is cleaned deeply, is activated, she removes electrostatic charging or prepares for the application of nano coatings. Brilliant optics of lacquers, optimal adherence and perfect appearance of prints on plastic components are some of the excellent results that offers plasma Openair. Pretreatment technology is not only cheaper but also more environmentally friendly of the majority of conventional procedures.
Injection - economic and new compounds
The advantages of using plasma pretreatment can take in the two-component injection moulding, as well as in the previous and subsequent processes. In order to obtain a permanent Union between non-compatible plastic materials together, pretreatment with plasma Openair can replace the use of expensive materials such as ABS/PC into the compounds of hard and soft components by cheap thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) and polypropylene (PP) materials. Also, this technology has a great power for thorough cleaning and enhancement of membership in the technology of multicomponent in combinations of coiled and plástico-metal. It is also used in combinations of thermoplastics and duromeros (termofijos materials).
Pretreatment of elastomers
Pretreatment of elastomers with Openair plasma before the application of the adhesive saves several steps away from the traditional methods. The pre-treatment plasma is highly effective and eliminates the need of prior cleaning of the surfaces to adhere, as well as application of varnish Fund, containing solvents, prior to the application of the adhesive.
At the Equiplast fair, the developer of systems is represented by Michael Christopher and his team BGT Office technique S.L.U., Granollers, the Spanish subsidiary of Plasmatreat GmbH, Germany. Plasma technology is presented to visitors by a robotic equipment with an integrated rotating nozzle. The plasma Jet is directed towards a glass surface by its high visual impact. Almost at the speed of sound, the plasma reaches the material, performed a thorough cleaning and causes a high degree of surface activation.
Then the piece of glass is placed in a container with water, which shows substantially the mojabilidad.
