HydroPlasma® combines the physical cleaning effect of atmospheric pressure plasma with the chemical reactivity of water. When distilled water is fed into the plasma process, highly reactive oxygen and hydrogen radicals are created. These dissolve residues on surfaces into water-soluble or gaseous components that can be easily removed.
This environmentally friendly technology uses water, air and electricity and does not require any chemical solvents or emit VOCs. The water fed into the process cools the plasma jet that hits the surface, enabling even highly sensitive materials to be treated.
HydroPlasma® has a wide range of industrial applications and is suitable for surfaces made of a variety of materials:
Metal: better adhesion of paints and seals. Aluminum housings in the automotive and electronics industries, such as those used for control units or sensors, require absolutely clean surfaces to ensure the long-lasting adhesion of protective paints or sealants. HydroPlasma® reliably removes contaminants that impair adhesion or promote corrosion, such as oil residues, processing additives, and salts. The result is more stable bonds, less waste and more durable components.
• Glass – residue-free cleaning: Many vehicle and oven windows have a black edge ("blackout") created using ceramic screen printing to protect the adhesive behind it from UV light and improve its appearance. However, fingerprints left behind during this process can lead to loss of adhesion or leaks. HydroPlasma® offers an effective, environmentally friendly alternative to solvent-based cleaners.
• Plastic: no thermal damage or deformation. Modern plastics used in medical technology or lightweight construction are often sensitive to heat. The cooling effect of the water used in the HydroPlasma® process makes it particularly suitable for plastics with low processing temperatures.
