Plasma Surface Activation Applications
Composites
Plasma Treatment for Composites
Today’s composites industry continues to challenge the bounds of technology in aerospace, automotive, infrastructure, biomedical, and sports applications. New designs are lighter than ever before, frequently incorporating plastic materials into the tradition carbon, fiberglass, and aramid reinforcement fabrics or fibers.
APJeT’s Plasma Surface Activation Systems can improve the bond strength between these reinforcement fabrics or fibers and the resin matrix, creating stronger composites that perform better and last longer.
APJeT’s Plasma Systems integrate easily into existing lines and operate at low temperatures, preventing operator burns and melting of substrates during line stops.
