Plasma coating

With low-pressure plasma, workpieces can be improved with various coatings. To achieve this, gaseous and liquid raw materials are fed into the vacuum chamber. In plasma cross-linking, the raw materials, mostly short-chain monomers, are converted to long-chain polymers. The selection of raw materials then determines the coating properties:

Hydrophobic (water repellent)
Hydrophilic (water-attracting/wetting)
Scratch protection
Corrosion protection
Carbon coating
Barriers/diffusion barriers
PTFE-like
Frictionless coatings/non-stick coatings
Adhesion promoter/primer
Water/steam barriers
Metallization
Nano-silver

Advantages of plasma-coating:

Extremely thin coatings are possible on the nanometre scale
Series ready, steady processes are possible through full automation
Variety of options are feasible
No temperature loading
No solvents
Very good gap penetration properties
Suitable for general items and bulk
