Openair-Plasma® technology allows combinations of materials that until now used to fail because of reasons of adhesion. Krauss-Maffei as a leading manufacturer of plastics machines has been enabled by this innovative technology to make totally new applications accessible through the integration of the plasma process – e.g. in the two-component injection moulding processes. For our business, this technology is eligible for all material combinations where otherwise no sufficient adhesion can be attained.
Aside the technological advantages „adhesion bonding” and “reproducibility”, the economic aspect is of particular importance here: The plasma pre-treatment can be executed in-line. That was one of the decisive reasons for our choice of the Openair-Plasma® method, since such a solution had not been on the market before. In the future, this technology will be an essential system-constituent for the fabrication of material compounds and could play a big role in medical engineering.
For Krauss-Maffei, Plasmatreat’s high innovative ability is a decisive precondition for a partnership!

Plasmatreat constantly faces shifting demands as a result of new ideas, regulations, and standards. Customers are increasingly approaching the company with unique and innovative project requests. Consequently, the capacities of the technology and research center will now be expanded to include a class-6 cleanroom.
Plasmatreat supports digitized manufacturing with its Plasma Control Unit (PCU) and makes numerous controls, regulation, and monitoring functions available to ensure consistently high surface-treatment quality and reproducibility.
VOCs occur when solvents and solvent-containing products are used, and they are harmful to the environment. Nevertheless, manufacturing in many industries still involves pre-treating surfaces with primers, bonding agents or other chemicals that release VOCs. With its Openair-Plasma process, Plasmatreat offers an environmentally friendly alternative.
In addition to the Openair-Plasma Systems for surface treatment Plasmatreat GmbH also offers individual production cells with automated solutions to ensure seamless integration in the production lines. Plasma Treatment Units (PTU) are tailored to the customer's technical processes and are equipped with various operating options. Here Plasmatreat offers the solution of coordinated process automation combining efficient surface treatment and a perfectly coordinated handling of assemblies and components.
Plasmatreat plans to get more involved in the disinfection industry by providing solutions for disinfecting protective clothing during the current corona crisis.
