PVA TePla America’s Services and Capabilities:
GAS PLASMA SERVICES
• Reproducible and consistent process
• Environmentally “clean” process
• No solvents or by-products to dispose
• Preserves bulk material integrity
Plasma processing is an enabling technology in the fabrication of microchip/arrays and
use of polymeric materials. Cost of ownership is greatly reduced by the use of gas plasma
instead of “wet” chemistries. Call us and let us show you how.
Applications:
Gas plasma is the accepted method of choice by companies worldwide for:
WHAT IS GAS PLASMA?
By definition, plasma is an ionized state of matter.
Think of it as a gas carrying a lot of energy but not
heat energy. This energy is used to change the surface
of materials by etching, growing new material onto a
surface, or by modifying the chemistry of a surface.
Everyday forms of plasma include the solar corona,
lightning, neon lights, and fluorescent light bulbs.
Although plasmas exist over a wide range of
temperatures and pressures, cold plasmas (also called
low-pressure plasmas) are of primary interest for heat
sensitive materials.
Gas plasma technology is used to modify surfaces of
materials both physically and chemically.
Gas plasma can clean any number of surfaces and
prepare them for adhesive bonding in a matter of
minutes. A dry surface treatment technique, plasma
technology uses no solvents, produces no fumes, and
eliminates waste disposal issues.
• Direct and ink-jet printing
• Surface cleaning
• Residue removal

GAS PLASMA can be used on all kinds of products:
• Industrial components
• Plastic containers
• Tools and equipment
• Wires, cables, fibres
• Consumer goods
• Medical and health care products
• Automotive parts
• Caps and closures
• Electrical/electronic components
Benefits of partnering with PVA TePla America:
• Surface analytical services
