From liquid that beads to liquid that conforms
Plasma tunes surface energy so varnishes, inks, adhesives and coatings wet evenly, without dewetting or craters.
The liquid that won't spread
What if the problem isn't your product, but the surface receiving it?
A varnish that retracts into islands. Ink that beads instead of covering. Adhesive that won't spread over the target area. These are signs of a surface whose energy is mismatched to the liquid. Left uncorrected, the result is uneven and scrap rates climb. Plasma adjusts wettability so the liquid behaves exactly as intended.
Plasma, in practice
Even spreading
No more craters or dewetting: the liquid covers the surface evenly.
Adjustable to your needs
We increase wettability to spread liquid, or reduce it to confine liquid to a specific zone.
Less scrap
A properly tuned surface means fewer coating defects and less rework.
Dry and inline
Treatment fits in right before the liquid is applied, with no wet step.
The principle, no jargon
Wettability depends on the relationship between the solid's surface energy and the liquid's surface tension. Plasma adjusts the solid's surface energy on demand. Raising it promotes spreading; by tuning the chemistry, the surface can instead be made repellent.
From first call to validated process
Diagnosis
You describe your part and your goal. We qualify your case and get back to you within 48h.
Validation
We treat a sample at our Québec facility, characterize the effect achieved, and document the process parameters.
Integration
We define the solution: service treatment, a Plasmino® reactor, or a custom reactor integrated directly into your line.
