Surfaces of metalized plastic or stainless steel (such as on ovens, dishwashers, refrigerators) can have an especially attractive decorative impact. Without finishes on those surfaces, however, they would soon be unsightly, corroded by finger prints or cleaning agents.
The Plasmaplus® process provides long-term protection with new, invisible nano-coatings that can also be combined with anti-bacterial effect. These nano-coatings are applied inline in final processing.
Anti-fingerprint coating from Fraunhofer IFAM – Innovative nanocoating to reduce the visibility of fingerprints:
The coating is distinguished by its ability to maintain surface characteristics – such as gloss and roughness – and is especially suitable for matte surfaces made of metal or plastic.
The underlying process developed by the Fraunhofer IFAM institute consists of two stages. A liquid is first applied in a thin film which is then made to crosslink by plasma or light (excimer technology, Smart Plasma process). © Fraunhofer IFAM

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.
