A completely new, patented atmospheric plasma source enables intensive, metal-specific surface treatment, resulting in a flawless surface that is virtually free of organic contaminants. This preparation of the surface for printing achieves unprecedented adhesion for UV inks, allowing them to withstand subsequent production steps such as deep drawing and flanging without problems. Unlike previous pretreatment processes, which use solvents and require a lot of energy and ovens, the new process works without solvents. The curing time of the UV-based inks is less time and energy consuming, and the performance now achieved also enables high production speeds of up to 6500 metal sheets per hour.
By using nitrogen and its strong ionization in the plasma source, high kinetic energy is transferred to the material to dissolve the organic contamination from the metal surface. This unique treatment is similar to high intensity annealing, but in this case the temperature exposure is very short and therefore more favorable to the material.
Industrial plasma technology is based on a simple physical principle: When energy is supplied, the states of matter change. Thus, solid becomes liquid and liquid becomes gaseous. If further energy is now added to a gas, e.g. air, it is ionized and changes to the high-energy plasma state.
If the ionized gas meets a surface, its properties change. For example, it can become particularly hydrophilic or hydrophobic. Plasmatreat takes advantage of this phenomenon and applies it to various materials, such as a wide range of metals, plastics or glass. Pretreatment with Openair-Plasma® expands the application possibilities of established materials and enables novel materials as well as unimagined material composites. For example, this technology is also driving industrial inline use in the field of coatings for metal packaging.
Take your chance to experience plasma technology live at METPACK 2023 in hall 3, booth 3C55. Book your individual appointment with our expert now!
Like no other form of energy, plasma energy is outstandingly suited for targeted surface treatment of all types of materials. Even highly sensitive surfaces can be reliably and safely cleaned, activated and coated. This creates microfine, pure metal surfaces that enable uncomplicated wetting and adhesion of the UV coatings and/or printing inks.
Openair-Plasma® - Making Surface Treatment Sustainable
At this year's METPACK we will present our Openair-Plasma® technology for the application in the metal packaging industry for the first time at booth 3C55 in hall 3. Working closely with our partners Brasilata and Actega, we have managed to integrate atmospheric plasma technology into an existing production line at Brasilata, making the use of UV coatings on steel (TP/TFS) viable for the first time.
Let our project team explain to you on site the development process and the application of plasma technology in this special case and show you how the use of a plasma system can open new ways also in your production.
In addition, we will give you a compact introduction to atmospheric plasma technology. We will show you our Openair-Plasma® live on site and explain what makes plasma application an efficient and environmentally friendly alternative to conventional surface treatments of metals.
Atmospheric plasma technology is a "game changer" when it comes to adhesion properties, substrate replacement or functionalization of surfaces. Make an appointment right now and stop by to learn more about Openair-Plasma® technology.
Let's meet live at METPACK 2023
Visitors at METPACK can discover the plasma prozess live: A plasma system that pretreats flat substrates prior to printing with UV inks or coatings will be presented. This system has eight rotating nozzles and will treat materials, such as metal sheets for can production, before printing or painting. With the rotating nozzles, a large-area of the metal surface is pretreated with plasma uniformly. Precisely matching the speed, the distance between the nozzle heads and the substrate, and the intensity of the plasma nozzle to the application in question is one of Plasmatreat's core competencies. The innovative system for this patented process can be excellently integrated into existing lines.
