A Sustainable Breakthrough in Surface Cleaning: HydroPlasma®
Plasmatreat GmbH, a global leader in atmospheric plasma technology, has unveiled HydroPlasma®, a groundbreaking product designed to enhance the cleaning efficiency of glass and metal surfaces. This innovative solution combines the well-established effectiveness of Openair-Plasma® with the reactive power of ionized water, setting new standards for the removal of stubborn organic and inorganic contaminants, including fingerprints, oils, salts, and fats, all without relying on harsh chemicals.
Revolutionizing Cleanliness in High-Tech Industries
In sectors such as automotive, electronics, aerospace, and medical manufacturing, even microscopic contaminations can jeopardize adhesion in critical processes like bonding, coating, printing, or sealing. Traditional cleaning methods often depend on solvents or wet chemical treatments. HydroPlasma® offers a chemical-free, sustainable alternative that utilizes only compressed air, electricity, and water. This advanced technology not only enhances cleaning performance but also promotes environmentally friendly production practices.
How HydroPlasma® Works: Where Science Meets Sustainability
The patented HydroPlasma® process injects water into a plasma stream, where it gets ionized, creating a highly reactive cleaning jet. A precision nozzle directs this stream onto surfaces, effectively dissolving residues akin to a cleaning agent, without the need for sharp chemicals. HydroPlasma® stands out because it:
- - Removes previously hard-to-extract contaminants like fingerprints and inorganic residues.
- - Protects delicate substrates through a cooling effect that prevents thermal damage.
- - Increases surface energy for improved wettability in subsequent processes.
Complementing Openair-Plasma® for Unmatched Flexibility
While Openair-Plasma® is excellent for light organic contaminants (like dust and oils), HydroPlasma® expands its capabilities to tackle challenging inorganic residues. Together, they provide a VOC-free, scalable cleaning solution for industries demanding impeccable cleanliness.
Cross-Industry Applications
HydroPlasma® can seamlessly integrate into existing production lines, making it ideal for the automotive industry, electronics, and precision optics. Its gentle yet powerful cleaning action is perfect for:
- - Automotive Industry: Ensuring flawless coating adhesion and structural connections.
- - Medical Devices: Complying with standards for sterile surfaces.
- - Aerospace: Preparing critical components for coating applications.
Sustainability at Its Core
By eliminating solvents and reducing waste, HydroPlasma® helps manufacturers cut their carbon footprint while ensuring workplace safety and process reliability.
What is Openair-Plasma®?
Plasma, referred to as the fourth state of matter alongside solid, liquid, and gas, is created when additional energy is supplied to a gas, ionizing it into an energetic plasma state. This plasma technology is employed to modify the surface properties of materials such as plastics, metals, glass, and paper, aligning them with specific process requirements.
