Corona or plasma? Which surface treatment is right for your application? Both technologies improve surface energy and adhesion—but they offer different advantages.

Corona treatment is an affordable, proven solution for treating a wide range of materials and applications. Whereas, atmospheric plasma takes surface treatment further with activation, intensive cleaning, and micro-etching—delivering highly uniform surface energy while removing contaminants that can interfere with adhesion.

3DT's surface treatment technology alters many surfaces to improve bonding properties. Below, glass is tested before and after plasma surface treatment. Testing by a digital surface analyzer reveals marked improvement in the contact angle after treatment - from 63 degrees to 13 degrees! Meaning, glass with very limited bonding is improved with strong bonding/wetting properties. Give us a call or send an email to talk with our team about your application. www.3DTLLC.com
