APPLICATIONS & SURFACE IMPROVEMENTS

Wettability Improvement

Atmospheric and vacuum plasma technology significantly improves surface wettability by increasing the surface energy of materials through controlled physical and chemical modification. During plasma treatment, reactive species remove contaminants and introduce polar functional groups such as hydroxyl or carboxyl groups onto the surface. This transformation allows liquids like adhesives, coatings, or inks to spread more easily and uniformly instead of forming droplets. Atmospheric plasma is ideal for fast, inline treatment of large surfaces, while vacuum plasma provides highly uniform activation in controlled environments for complex geometries. Together, both methods ensure consistent and long-lasting wettability enhancement across a wide range of materials.

Keylink Technology offers systems to improve wettability by utilizing atmospheric and vacuum plasma pre-treatment to precisely activate and clean surfaces, thereby increasing surface energy for optimal liquid spreading and adhesion performance.
