A cost-effective process for activating plastic and elastomer surfaces is treatment with the APC500.
Using air as the process gas, large surfaces can be activated under atmospheric pressure. An arc is ignited between two electrodes in an inhomogeneous field. The voltage is about 10,000 V. In the discharge zone, the air flowing through is ionised. The plasma is blown out of the electrode area by the air flow. The substrate can now be treated in the emerging corona. A strip several centimetres wide is treated in the corona. With several parallel plasma generators it is possible to treat surfaces.
Due to dangerous voltage potential, PlasmaAPC 500 is only suitable for non-conductive materials. PlasmaAPC 500 is suitable as a pre-treatment unit for the following processes: Bonding, printing, painting. The following surfaces can be treated with PlasmaAPC 500: Plastic, rubber, ceramic, glass.
