Openair-Plasma® technology, from which derives the awarded nano-coating technology PlasmaPlus®, is protected internationally by patents and is employed today in almost all fields of industrial production. Materials such as plastic, metal, glass or ceramics are cleaned and simultaneously activated or functionally plasma coated inline within a matter of seconds. The dual effect of microfine cleaning

and simultaneous strong activation far outweighs the effectiveness of conventional systems. Pretreatment with Openair-Plasma® causes a targeted and exactly adjustable increase in the wettability and thus the adhesiveness of material surfaces. This produces a homogeneous paint finish and long-time stable adhesion of the coating even under the most challenging load conditions. New material compounds often become only possible due to this technique, while wet-chemical or mechanical pretreatments are completely dispensed with. Specials features of the Openair-Plasma® technology are its reliability and reproducibility in the production process. Plasmatreat has technology centers in Germany (Headquarters), the USA, Canada, China and Japan as well as subsidiaries and sales representatives in more than 30 countries.

Which delivers the required surface functionality while ensuring process reliability, product quality, and efficiency?

That was the focus of our recent Openair-Plasma® and AURORA-Plasma seminar at the Plasmatreat Academy in Steinhagen, Germany.

Attendees gained practical insights into atmospheric and low-pressure plasma technologies, their strengths, application areas, and the critical factors that influence process performance.

The hands-on laboratory sessions transformed theory into experience. Participants had the chance to treat and analyze different materials, connecting surface science directly with real manufacturing challenges.

By combining theory, practical testing, and technical discussion, the seminar provided participants with a clearer understanding of how to select the right plasma process for their specific application.

👏 Thank you to everyone who joined the seminar and contributed to the valuable exchange of knowledge and expertise.

🔴 LIVE at BATTERY TECH EXPO CENTRAL EUROPE | 8-9 September 2026
When discussing battery performance, most conversations focus on cell chemistry, energy density, or charging speeds. But long-term reliability often starts much earlier, at the surface.

Contamination, inconsistent surface energy, or insufficient activation can compromise bonding processes and downstream manufacturing quality.

That's why surface pretreatment is becoming an increasingly important factor in battery production.

At Battery Tech Expo Europe, we're highlighting how plasma cleaning, activation, and functional nanocoatings can support reliable cell-to-cell bonding and help create more stable manufacturing processes for high-performance batteries.

📍 Visit us at Gran Via, Pavilion 2, Level 0, Street B, Stand 80.

What surface-related challenges are currently having the biggest impact on battery manufacturing quality?

09/09/2026

Many bonding, coating, and printing issues are diagnosed too late. The root cause often starts at the surface.
Surface properties are often the hidden variable behind inconsistent quality, weak adhesion, and unstable manufacturing processes.

For manufacturers of household appliances, where glass, plastics, stainless steel, and decorative materials frequently come together, surface preparation plays a critical role in achieving repeatable results.

In our upcoming "Surface Treatment for Household Appliances with Openair-Plasma®", we'll explore how Openair-Plasma® and PlasmaPlus® support inline surface activation and cleaning to improve downstream bonding, printing, coating, and sealing performance.

We'll discuss real-world applications from the household appliance industry, including oven doors, cook tops, washing machine components, control panels, glass-to-plastic assemblies, stainless steel surfaces, and dishwashers.

One key takeaway: many quality issues attributed to adhesives, coatings, or inks actually originate much earlier in the process. Understanding and controlling surface properties is often the first step toward greater manufacturing consistency, automation, and efficiency.

In your experience, is surface preparation still one of the most underestimated factors in manufacturing performance?

07/09/2026

When a bond fails, the adhesive is often blamed. But reality is more complex.

Reliable bonding starts with the surface. Parameters like dirt and surface energy influence adhesion as well. This is particularly challenging for plastics. The unpolarity makes is difficult for adhesives, coatings, and inks to wet the surface evenly, often leading to inconsistent results.

Arçelik, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of household appliances and consumer electronics from Turkey, faced this challenge and searched for an alternative to manual primer processes in production.
The goal was clear: improve quality, efficiency, and sustainability.

➡️ At the K trade show 2022, Arçelik connected with Plasmatret and discovered the surface pretratment with atmospheric plasma as the solution to its adhesion challenges.

Stay tuned for the next post where we'll take a closer look at how atmospheric plasma changes surface properties and why more manufacturers are making the switch.

👉 What has the greatest impact on bond quality in your experience: material selection, surface preparation, or process control?

03/09/2026

One month. Seven trade shows. Six countries. One challenge shared across industries.

Whether it's batteries, electronics, semiconductors, or advanced composites, manufacturers are all working toward the same goal:
- Higher quality
- Lower process variability
- Greater confidence in production

The challenge is that every material, application, and production environment comes with its own requirements.

That's why surface treatment has become a critical process step. With a broad portfolio of atmospheric and low-pressure plasma technologies, we help manufacturers improve surface properties, stabilize processes, and achieve more reliable production outcomes.

Throughout September, our experts will be on the road to discuss current industry trends, manufacturing challenges, and practical approaches to surface treatment.

What surface treatment or production challenge is currently top of mind for your team?

02/09/2026

The future of plastics processing won't be defined by new materials alone. It will be defined by how well we adapt our processes to them.
Monomaterial concepts, recycled content, and new polymer formulations are reshaping plastics manufacturing.

These innovations create new opportunities for sustainability and product design. They also raise an important question:

Are our downstream processes keeping pace with the materials they're meant to process?

Bonding, coating, printing, potting, and functionalization all rely on consistent surface properties. Yet modern plastics often behave differently from the materials many processes were originally developed for.

In our upcoming "Preparing Plastic Surfaces Specifically for Subsequent Processes", we'll explore how plasma-based cleaning, activation, and functionalization can help create reproducible surface properties and support reliable manufacturing processes.

Together with Erhard Krampe, we'll take a closer look at:
- The impact of changing plastic formulations on downstream processing
- When cleaning, activation, or functionalization make sense
- Integrating plasma technologies into injection molding, extrusion, and other plastics processing methods
- Practical examples from medical technology, automotive applications, profile manufacturing, and silicone processing
