Plasma Modification

Improve Bonding and Enhance Biocompatability

Plasma treatment is a surface modification technique that readily primes any surface for better acceptance of secondary manufacturing applications.

Plasma is a reactive treatment process where positive and negative ions, electrons, and radicals react and collide as long as an electric potential difference exists. TriStar uses low pressure, or vacuum plasma, for more consistent and longer-lasting surface treatments. With plasma treatment, you can:

  • Microscopically change surfaces for improved bonding
  • Micro-clean to enhance the surface wetting of adhesives or over-molded elastomers
  • 使职能化组织(carbonyl, hydroxyl and others) to improve surface energy
  • Establish hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties

Materials ranging from ceramics, polymers, elastomers and metal assemblies are all good candidates forplasma treatment. In fact, plasma treatment actually boosts production yields by reducing defects caused by insufficient bonding of paints, inks, moldings and other coatings. Building plasma treatment into your manufacturing processupstreamcan eliminate defective application performancedownstream.

Plasma in Practice

Plasma surface treatment is extremely versatile and used in a range of industries. It can enhance biocompatibility, prevent moisture absorption thru hydrophobic treatments, and it improves functionalization and adhesion ― all from a value-driven, green alternative to harsh chemical techniques. It even extends treatment lifetime from days to years.
