FAQS

FAQs

How is plasma generated?
Plasma is generated by applying electrical energy to a gas, creating reactive ions, electrons, and radicals.
What is plasma used for in surface treatment?
Plasma is used to remove contaminants, increase surface energy, and prepare surfaces for bonding, coating, or printing.
What is the difference between argon and oxygen plasma?
Argon plasma mainly provides physical cleaning, while oxygen plasma chemically removes organic contaminants.
When should argon plasma be used?
Argon plasma is suitable for delicate or sensitive surfaces that require gentle, low-damage cleaning.
When is oxygen plasma preferred?
Oxygen plasma is preferred for removing organic residues and achieving strong surface activation.
Can plasma cleaning be applied to large-area materials?
Yes. Wide-width plasma systems enable uniform treatment of films, sheets, and large substrates.
