Particularly on many non-polar substrates (plastic/metal), certain fastness characteristics have so far only been achievable with solvent-based ink systems, e.g. with regard to rub resistance, grease resistance and coating fastness. In contrast, Openair-Plasma® treatment is an environmentally friendly and economic process for increasing wettability and adhesion. The Plasmatreat process combines various effects in one treatment step, such as the cleaning of organic residues (fine cleaning), the chemical-physical modification of the surface and the activation of the surface for further work steps.

Another focus is the adhesion improvement by chemical functionalization of surfaces. Plasma polymerization with the PlasmaPlus® process is already being used successfully for surface coating in different industrial applications.

In this PlasmaTalk, Bas Buser, our former Global Market Segment Manager Printing Applications at Plasmatreat and now acting as a consultant, explains how you achieve stable printing results on many different materials - without using primers.

• Adhesion improvements of ink on several materials - even on recycled ones
• Extremely durable: improved adhesion equates to enhanced moisture and scratch resistance
• Environmentally-friendly inline process with a maximum of process control
• Significant savings on inks/raw materials
• PlasmaPlus® Coating for printing glass, metal and other materials
• Practical examples

This no-charge PlasmaTalk is aimed at research, development and quality control personnel as well as designers, process engineers and operators of production equipment in industrial processes.

The PlasmaTalk will run for appr. 40 - 60 min. including FAQs. If you have a specific problem or question, please send your question in advance to academy@plasmatreat.com and we will be happy to include it into the program.
