Plasma Cleaning, plasma cleaners

plasma-cleaningPlasma cleaners and Plasma cleaning have a unique ability to remove all traces of surface organic contaminants in an fast, efficient and repeatable process.

Plasma cleaning delivers an ultra-fine surface preparation with only air or oxygen as the process gas. This means that plasma cleaners deliver an inherently environmentally friendly technique with no waste chemicals, offering a real alternative to both aqeous and  solvent based cleaning techniques.

 

Plasma Cleaning: how the plasma cleaner works

In summary, active oxygen from the plasma combines with hydrocarbon contaminants on the surface, releasing them as harmless H2O and CO2. A more complete description of the plasma cleaning process can be found in our technical section.
