Plasma surface treatment systems are widely used to facilitate bonding of adhesives, paints, inks, coatings, epoxies, resins, potting compounds, and other materials.

Plasma treatment, also known as plasma cleaning, plasma etching, plasma surface modification or activation, involves striking the surface with high energy electrons and ions. This modifies the physical and chemical structure of the very top layer and changes surface wettability and functionalization. With plasma surface activation, the material’s surface is much more conducive to adhesion for bonding, painting, coatings, and more.

Plasma treatment equipment becomes an indispensable tool for processing various plastics including PTFE, ETFE, PVC, PP, PE, PET, and other low surface energy solids.

Tri-Star Technologies is a leader in surface modification for adhesion improvement. Our plasma treatment machines support a production of angioplasty catheters, hypodermic needles and syringes, pacemakers, percussion drumheads, DVDs, LCDs, contact lenses, wires and cables, microfluidic devices, electrical connectors and so on.

Tri-Star Technologies plasma treatment systems operate at atmospheric pressure in an ambient environment and can be easily incorporated in-line with any other process.
