Plasmatreat’s HydroPlasma offers chemical-free, sustainable surface cleaning for critical industries, enhancing adhesion while reducing environmental impact.
Plasmatreat GmbH, a leading innovator in atmospheric plasma technology, has introduced its latest advancement: HydroPlasma, a sustainable and highly effective method for precision cleaning of glass and metal surfaces. This groundbreaking technology integrates the strengths of the company’s established Openair-Plasma with the reactive capabilities of ionized water, offering a revolutionary, chemical-free cleaning solution for high-performance applications.
A New Standard in Surface Cleaning for Critical Industries
Industries such as automotive, electronics, medical devices, and aerospace rely heavily on pristine surface conditions for key operations like bonding, coating, printing, and sealing. In these sectors, even the smallest organic or inorganic contaminants can severely compromise product integrity and process reliability. Traditionally, cleaning in such environments has depended on solvents or chemical-based treatments. HydroPlasma® redefines this approach by delivering a high-precision cleaning alternative that uses only compressed air, electricity, and water—making it not only effective but also environmentally sound.
How HydroPlasma® Works: A Fusion of Innovation and Sustainability
At the heart of HydroPlasma® is a patented process in which water is injected into a plasma jet and ionized to create a highly reactive cleaning stream. This stream, guided by a specialized nozzle, is directed onto target surfaces to dissolve and lift away residues with a detergent-like action—yet without using harmful chemicals.
Compared to conventional techniques, HydroPlasma® offers multiple advantages:
• Effectively removes stubborn contaminants, such as fingerprints, grease, salts, and inorganic deposits.
• Maintains substrate integrity by producing a cooling effect that prevents thermal damage.
• Increases surface energy, which enhances adhesion and wettability for subsequent processes like coating or bonding.
Synergy with Openair-Plasma® for Complete Cleaning Versatility
While Openair-Plasma® is renowned for tackling light organic contamination like dust or oil, HydroPlasma® complements it by effectively removing tougher inorganic residues. When used in tandem, these technologies deliver a comprehensive, VOC-free surface cleaning system that is scalable and adaptable for industries requiring exceptional cleanliness and precision.
Widespread Applications with Industry-Specific Benefits
HydroPlasma® is designed for seamless integration into automated production environments across various industries:
• Automotive: Enhances bonding and coating adhesion for safety-critical components.
• Medical Devices: Achieves the high standards required for sterile manufacturing.
• Aerospace: Prepares surfaces for protective and functional coatings with unmatched precision.
Commitment to Environmental Responsibility
HydroPlasma® exemplifies Plasmatreat’s dedication to sustainable innovation. By eliminating the need for hazardous solvents and minimizing waste, the technology helps manufacturers reduce their environmental footprint while ensuring workplace safety and process stability.
With HydroPlasma®, Plasmatreat sets a new benchmark in high-performance, eco-conscious surface treatment—paving the way for cleaner, safer, and more sustainable manufacturing practices across the globe.
