PlasmaTact is an atmospheric pressure gas plasma system. It can be used for various surface treatments. Atmospheric pressure plasma technology can perform surface modification processes for bonding, cleaning, or activating the materials.
Feature
1/ 2/ 3
Atmospheric pressure
PlasmaTact generates plasma under atmospheric pressure.
It is a compact and portable atmospheric pressure plasma equipment, eliminating the need for expensive and cumbersome vacuum-related equipment.
Argon gas
Argon gas is an inert monatomic molecule.
PlasmaTact generates argon gas plasma.
Using argon gas suppresses ozone and NOx.
Microwave method
Typically, plasma is generated at low frequency, at high voltage.
PlasmaTact uses 2.4 – 2.5GHz microwave.
This enables low-voltage, low-temperature plasma irradiation.

Process Data
PlasmaTact uses plasmaized argon gas to modify the surfaces of thermoplastic and thermosetting resins, metals, and glass from hydrophobic to hydrophilic.
It is expected to be applied to pretreatment of difficult-to-adhere materials and cleaning of organic materials.

Structure
Control unit
This unit controls gas flow rate and plasma power. It can be operated with the buttons on the front panel. A remote control interface is also provided.
Plasma torch
Plasma is generated with this unit. Atmospheric pressure plasma is ejected from 2mm diameter nozzle. Surface modification of a 12 mm diameter area is possible. (Depends on gas flow rate, power input, irradiation distance, and irradiation time).
