Customized surface treatment with APP Solutions

Atmospheric pressure plasma (APP) treatment is the key technology for the ultrafine cleaning, surface activation, and plasma coating of almost all materials – plastics, metals, glass, silicon rubber, cardboard, textiles, and composite materials (PPS+55% glass fiber or carbon fiber… etc.). With APP technology, plasma surface treatment can be integrated inline/offline. This makes it possible to use cost-effective starting materials, to combine materials that were previously incompatible, and to implement high-efficiency, environmentally friendly manufacturing processes.

APP is good to improve the surface energy & increase Chem. Bonding Energy

What is APPlasma

In the manufacturing industry, this principle is used for selective modification of material

characteristics. Treatment with APP energy causes a targeted and exactly adjustable

increase in the adhesiveness and wettability of surfaces. This makes it possible to use

completely new (even non-polar) materials and environmentally-friendly, solvent-free

(VOC-free) paints and adhesives industrially. Today, many chemical surface treatment

processes can be replaced with APP treatment

Application on Auto (PP/PC)Modern headlights using LED

technology last for the lifetime

of the vehicle, thus eliminating

the need to change bulbs. To

ensure this longevity, they must

be effectively protected to keep

all moisture out. When bonding

headlights and tail lights made

of polypropylene (PP) and

polycarbonate (PC), the

adhesive must therefore have

excellent sealing properties as

well as providing reliable

adhesion.

Advantages of APP Technology

compared to other pre-treatment processes

High process reliability:APP is distinguished by high fail-safety and process reliability.

High cost-effectiveness:

High process speed, even in multi-shift operation, and lower scrap rates guarantee high

process efficiency. Because it allows for flexible material selection, the APP process

also facilitates the use of more advantageous materials.

High degree of activation:Unlike corona treatment, APP permits a high degree of activation of the surfaces to be

treated.

Large process window:

APP 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, APP can easily be integrated inline in existing processes.

Environmentally friendly:The APP 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.

The extensive potential of APP technology

New material freedomAPP technology makes it possible for industry to respond to continuously increasing

demands on raw materials and materials efficiency, energy savings, and to avoid use

of pollutants and chemicals.

New environmentally-friendly processes and end products

Using DRY APP technology, many wet chemistry processes can be eliminated. Ultrafine cleaning with plasma already replaces entire washing processes, which makes drying

that uses a lot of energy unnecessary.

High efficiency plasma activation makes the use of environmentally hazardous and

health damaging bonding agents and primers unnecessary. The significant improvement

in adhesion enables the use of alternative, often water-based VOC-free paint and

adhesive systems.New applications for all areas of industry

The potential range of applications using APP technology is inexhaustible. In many

areas of industry, treatment APP is already firmly established. In other areas – say, in

life sciences and new forms of energy, but also in aviation and aerospace. Today, there are already groundbreaking successes in protective coating of solar cells, the

development of fuel cells, and innovative lightweight construction with carbon fibermaterials. Initial tests in the treatment of human skin further demonstrate the extensive

potential of plasma technology in future breakthroughs.
