Diener electronic GmbH + Co. KG Plasma Surface Technology

OUR PLASMA SYSTEMS ARE USED HERE
If energy is continuously supplied to a material, its temperature increases and it changes from the solid to the liquid to the gaseous state. If the energy supply continues, the existing atomic shell is broken up and charged particles (negatively charged electrons and positively charged ions) are formed. This mixture is referred to as plasma or the “fourth state of matter”.

In short: change in the state of aggregation under energy supply:

solid ⇒ liquid ⇒ gaseous ⇒ plasma

In nature, plasma comes z. B. in lightning, polar lights, flames and the sun. Artificially created plasmas are known, among other things, from the neon tube, from welding and from flashlights.

Plasma is used in areas where it is important to connect materials or to change their surface properties in a targeted manner. With this forward-looking technology, a wide variety of surfaces can be modified. There are therefore many possible applications:

Fine cleaning of small and micro components
Activation of plastic components before gluing, painting, etc.
Etching and partially removing various materials such as PTFE, photoresist, etc.
Coating components with PTFE-like layers, barrier layers, hydrophobic or hydrophilic layers, friction-reducing layers, etc.

Plasma technology has now established itself in almost all industrial areas. New applications are constantly being added.
