Handheld cold plasma device for surface treatment

1 January 2020 Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services

The Relyon Plasma Piezobrush PZ2 has nozzle attachment options for surface activation across a wide range of applications for improved adhesion on surfaces that are otherwise difficult to bond, print on, coat or laminate. For use in laboratories, prototyping, crafts, R&D; and industrial applications, treatment of metals, and smaller and more precise applications, are possible by choosing a suitable nozzle, while the use of a variety of special gases also enhances the possibilities of PDD (piezoelectric direct discharge) on challenging substrates.

Based on the direct, electric discharge at an openly operated piezoelectric transformer, low input voltage is transformed, resulting in high electric field strengths. The PZ2’s ionised energy output of cold active plasma gives successful pre-treatment and surface activation, enhancing wetting and adhesion with standard, nearfield, and multigas-and-needle nozzle options.

Transforming surface properties to optimise processes like gluing, printing or varnishing is simple. A short treatment with piezobrush PZ2 makes even liquid-repellent materials like polymers easily wettable and ready for improved processing, making chemical primers unnecessary.
