About Tigres and Atmospheric Plasma Treatment
Atmospheric plasma treatment offers numerous benefits across manufacturing, research and other applications. It has become essential for industries that demand:
Surface Cleaning
Manufacturing processes often leave fine organic residue on surfaces. Plasma ultra-fine cleaning gets rid of the residue. The energy input splits the organic compounds, transforms them to the gas phase and sucks them into the exhaust system. It is a dry chemical process, allowing a coating to be applied immediately.
Surface Activation
To be able to successfully bond, coat, print or paint polymers and metals, the surface must first meet a few requirements. It has to be very clean and has to be sufficiently active to form an adhesive bond with the coating material. Plasma pretreatment takes care of both of these requirements: The reactive plasma species transform the finest organic layers to the gas phase during ultra-fine cleaning. And with polymers, the functional groups described above are bonded to the outer-most molecular layer, the surface polarity increases and the prerequisite for adhesive bonding with the applied material is fulfilled.
Surface Coating
Adding special precursors to the discharging plasma stream enables layers of customized materials to be applied to plastics and metals.
Looking Ahead
Our partnership with Tigres enables Scitek to remain at the forefront of technological advancements. We look forward to supporting our customers with the addition of Tigres to our portfolio of plasma solutions, tailored to meet their unique needs in an efficient manner.
