Plasma Treatment for Automotive & Assembly

Today’s automotive and assembly applications are moving to lighter weight plastic materials that require surface preparation prior to printing, painting, or applying adhesive. Plasma treatment can prepare the surface without the use of hazard solvents and for minimal processing costs. For most applications, the only inputs are minimal electricity and air.

APJeT’s Surface Activation Plasma Systems integrate easily into existing lines and operate at low temperatures, preventing operator burns and melting of substrates during line stops.
