Examples include the increase of surface energy resulting in improved surface wetting. Optimal surface wetting is the first and often decisive step to get a good imprint, a uniform coating, a consistent coat of varnish or an integrally-bonded application of adhesive. The bond at this boundary layer often determines the longevity and adhesive strength of this material pairing. Atmospheric-pressure plasma increases throughput in many industrial processes, while at the same time saving costs for solvents or chemical primers. We have successfully integrated our plasma products into the following application fields: • Cleaning of metal, glass and plastics • Surface activation and surface functionalisation for optimised wettability • Plasma-assisted laminating process • Plasma-assisted adhesive bonded joints • Plugging and sealing • Plasma induced reduction of metal surfaces • Chemical-free bleaching of textiles • Plasma sterilisation of fabric • Handling of food products for quality and shelf life • Sterilisation of thermally-unstable plastics • Air purification, odour and germ reduction • Multi-component injection moulding Practically all technical material classes can be efficiently processed under atmospheric pressure: • Metals, metal alloys • Plastics and composite materials • Glass, ceramics, inorganic composites, natural stone • Real leather, imitation leather • Natural fibres, wood, paper Since the plasma treatment is always just one part of the entire process, it is important to know the overall influences on the surface properties in order to achieve an optimal result. Typical influencing factors could be: • Plasma process: Distance to the substrate, speed, nozzle geometry • Substrate/ workpiece: Material composition, contamination, electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, moisture content 2018-01-18 Please read Cautions and warnings and Important notes at the end of this document. Page 9 of 17 piezobrush®PZ2 Operating instructions for piezobrush®PZ2 handheld device prototypes Z63000Z2910Z1Z62 piezobrush®PZ2 - Preliminary data • Workpiece treatment: Contamination before or after the plasma process, the time duration between the plasma process and the follow-up process Treatment examples can be requested directly from Relyon Plasma GmbH. Additional information on applications, as well as publications, can be found on the website www.relyon-plasma.com. 7.2 Notes on the correct handling of the substrates to be treated Caution – electrical voltage! • Danger from electrical voltage - Never direct the plasma beam at people or animals. - Never touch the plasma nozzle or the plasma jet when the device is in operation. - Never touch the workpiece to be treated or its holder during plasma generation. - Make sure that no third party comes into contact with the workpiece to be treated or its holder. - If electrically conductive materials touch the workpiece to be worked on, these materials must be grounded. This applies not only to direct handling of the device, but also to the workpiece to be handled and its holder. A functional grounding connection is provided on the device for a special form of plasma treatment involving transferred electric arcs. If you want to use this special application, please contact Relyon Plasma GmbH directly. 7.3 Carrying out surface treatment Depending on the type and condition of your substrate, pre-cleaning before the plasma process can improve the overall outcome. The effect of the treatment depends on the working distance, treatment time, speed and consistency of movement as well as the material to be treated. Ensure that the substrate is not thermally damaged due to movement that is too slow or a working distance that is too low. Treatment examples can be requested directly from Relyon Plasma GmbH. 7.4 Measured to take the surface treatment To achieve an optimal result, it is important that as little time as possible elapse after the plasma treatment and that the treated surface is not touched or contaminated. Cleaning the surface AFTER the plasma treatment is not recommended. Since the workpiece can heat up depending on the type and duration of the plasma process, it may be necessary to allow the workpiece to first cool down first before the next process step is executed in order to not negatively affect the follow-up process through the introduction of heat (e.g. certain bonding processes). Caution – Hot surface! The workpiece to be treated can become heated up by the plasma process depending on the process parameters. If necessary, allow the workpiece to cool down before handling it. 2018-01-18 Please read Cautions and warnings and Important notes at the end of this document.

Some parts of this publication contain statements about the suitability of our products for certain areas of application. These statements are based on our knowledge of typical requirements that are often placed on our products in the areas of application concerned. We nevertheless expressly point out that such statements cannot be regarded as binding statements about the suitability of our products for a particular customer application. As a rule we are either unfamiliar with individual customer applications or less familiar with them than the customers themselves. For these reasons, it is always ultimately incumbent on the customer to check and decide whether a product with the properties described in the product specification is suitable for use in a particular customer application. 2. We also point out that in individual cases, a malfunction of electronic components or failure before the end of their usual service life cannot be completely ruled out in the current state of the art, even if they are operated as specified. In customer applications requiring a very high level of operational safety and especially in customer applications in which the malfunction or failure of an electronic component could endanger human life or health (e.g. in accident prevention or life-saving systems), it must therefore be ensured by means of suitable design of the customer application or other action taken by the customer (e.g. installation of protective circuitry or redundancy) that no injury or damage is sustained by third parties in the event of malfunction or failure of an electronic component. 3. The warnings, cautions and product-specific notes must be observed. 4. In order to satisfy certain technical requirements, some of the products described in this publication may contain substances subject to restrictions in certain jurisdictions (e.g. because they are classed as hazardous).
