Surface preparation

Adhesion is won at the surface

Plasma prepares low-energy polymers and metals so that adhesives, paints and inks bond durably.

The problem we solve

The symptom you know

What if the problem isn't your product, but the surface receiving it?

A bonded joint that peels after a few cycles. Paint that blisters. Ink that rubs off. The instinct is to switch adhesives or paint. But nine times out of ten, the problem isn't the product being applied — it's the surface that won't hold it. Many technical polymers (PP, PE, PEEK, composites) have surface energy too low for an assembly to hold without preparation.

What changes for you

Plasma, in practice

Lasting adhesion

Plasma raises surface energy so the adhesive forms a real bond, not a contact that gives way over time.

No solvent or primer

A dry process that replaces chemical primers and their drying, storage and safety constraints.

Inline-integrable

Treatment is placed right before the bonding step, at your production line's pace.

Compatible with your materials

Polymers, metals, glass and composites can all be treated with DBD plasma without altering part geometry.

How it works

The principle, no jargon

Atmospheric plasma bombards the surface with reactive species. These species clean off residual contamination and graft polar chemical functions onto the outermost molecular layers. The result: surface energy rises, the surface becomes wettable, and the adhesive can form a solid bond instead of simply resting on top.

Our approach

From first call to validated process

01

Diagnosis

You describe your part and your goal. We qualify your case and get back to you within 48h.

02

Validation

We treat a sample at our Québec facility, characterize the effect achieved, and document the process parameters.

03

Integration

We define the solution: service treatment, a Plasmino® reactor, or a custom reactor integrated directly into your line.
