| Company profile | Plasmatreat is an international leader in the development and manufacture of atmospheric pressure plasma systems for the pretreatment of substrate surfaces. Whether plastic, metal, glass or paper – the industrial use of plasma technology modifies the properties of the surface in favor of the process requirements. Subsequent processes include bonding, painting, printing or gasketing.
Openair-Plasma® technology is used in automated and continuous manufacturing processes in almost every industrial sector. Examples include the automotive, electronics, transportation, packaging, consumer goods and textile industry, but the technology, cost and environmental advantages of the plasma technology are used in medical technology and in the renewable energy sector as well.
The Plasmatreat Group has technology centers in Germany, USA, Canada, China, and Japan. With its worldwide sales and service network, the company is represented in more than 30 countries by subsidiaries and sales partners.

| Products & Services | How Openair-Plasma and PlasmaPlus optimize industrial processes.
When plasma with its high energy level comes into contact with materials, it changes the surface properties, for example from hydrophobic to hydrophilic. Plasma technology requires only compressed air and electricity for operation. Fine cleaning with Openair-Plasma gently and reliably removes dust, release agents, additives, plasticizers and hydrocarbons from surfaces. Especially with non-polar plastics, plasma treatment achieves surface activation. It supports the increase of surface energy by introducing hydroxyl groups and thus improves adhesion in subsequent processes such as bonding, printing, painting and sealing. Plasmatreat’s PlasmaPlus technology can also be used to create targeted functionalized surfaces with defined properties by applying (depositing) nanocoatings, e.g. as an additional adhesion promoter layer.
