Ultra-fine plasma cleaning removes organic contamination from the surface making surfaces more wettable.
Plasma cleaning glass, metals & ceramics components is rapidly displacing time consuming, hit and miss, solvent and aqueous based cleaning methods. For this industry in particular; inefficient wet chemical procedures ultimately lead to higher costs and reduced yield and even prolonged treatments can be ineffective in removing seemingly insignificant trace levels of organic contaminants that can ultimately affect how fit for purpose a particular component is.
New legislation will also restrict the use of environmentally unfriendly chemicals in addition to e.g. trichloroethylene. Plasma cleaning offers significant advantages over wet cleaning methods alone and can enable a leading market position for those adopting it early.

Henniker Plasma - Atmospheric Plasma Robot
Atmospheric plasma treatment is ideal for in-line processing & very effective at activating and cleaning the surface of a material, increasing the adhesion characteristics and making it easier to bond, paint and glue. Henniker's atmospheric plasma surface treatment systems can be integrated with a 3-axis robot to follow precise treatment patterns as part of an automated process..

Atmospheric Plasma Treatment to Improve Adhesion
Atmospheric plasma treatment is used to clean the surface of metals, in this case aluminium, where the efficient removal of hydrocarbon contamination leads to improved wettability and adhesion. Atmospheric plasma treatment is suitable for metals, glass, ceramics, composites and a wide range of engineering polymers.
