Manufacturing processes in medical technology demand the highest possible standards that far exceed the demands in most other industries. Surfaces must be not just clean but absolutely flawless or sterile. Beyond that, pre-treatment processes in medical technology must be very reliable and precisely reproducible.
Plasma pre-treatment to improve adhesion of printing inks has been widely used in medical technology for some time. With Openair® Plasma, Plasmatreat has taken it a big step further.
The Openair® plasma process allows for effective adhesion of hard/soft material combinations, applying finishes to membranes (filter media), and plasma functionalization of plastic surfaces. And all that is guaranteed to be aseptic thanks to plasma sterilization.

How to measure surface energy with test ink.
Plasmatreat constantly faces shifting demands as a result of new ideas, regulations, and standards. Customers are increasingly approaching the company with unique and innovative project requests. Consequently, the capacities of the technology and research center will now be expanded to include a class-6 cleanroom.
Plasmatreat supports digitized manufacturing with its Plasma Control Unit (PCU) and makes numerous controls, regulation, and monitoring functions available to ensure consistently high surface-treatment quality and reproducibility.
VOCs occur when solvents and solvent-containing products are used, and they are harmful to the environment. Nevertheless, manufacturing in many industries still involves pre-treating surfaces with primers, bonding agents or other chemicals that release VOCs. With its Openair-Plasma process, Plasmatreat offers an environmentally friendly alternative.
